DFS DECDFS03_022 DECdfs V2.2 ECO Summary
TITLE: DFS DECDFS03_022 DECdfs V2.2 ECO Summary
 
Modification Date:  22-JUL-98
Modification Type:  DOCUMENTATION:  Technical Modification  
                      OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 added as applicable version.

NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

     Kit Applies To:  DECdfs V2.2

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DECdfs V2.2.  This kit addresses the following
problems: 

Problems Addressed in the DECDFS03_022 kit:

  o  An occasional system crash may occur at system shut-down when 
     DECnet/Plus V6.3-5 is used.  A new DECnet event was introduced 
     to indicate that a link had been broken by network management, 
     rather than by the network partners or fault conditions.  The 
     procedure process_event had to be modified to handle the new 
     event.

  o  The DECdfs client process sometimes hangs in an RWAST state when 
     DECnet reports errors on the link.  A window in the synchronization 
     on the DFSS UCB allowed the data structure to become inconsistent. 
     The synchronization was fixed.


Problems Addressed in the DECDFS02_022 kit:

  o  When an operation is performed on a file on a DECdfs device, the
     DECdfs server may crash unexpectedly with an UNXSIGNAL exception at
     DFSSDRIVER+01B5B (OpenVMS VAX only). 

  o  When an operation is performed on a file on a DECdfs device, the
     DECdfs server may crash unexpectedly with an SECURITY1 bugcheck at
     DFSSDRIVER_NPRO+3030 (OpenVMS Alpha only). 

  o  If checksumming is enabled, the DECdfs client may crash during the
     checksum calculation with an INVEXCEPTN bugcheck at DFSRRDRIVER+1100
     (OpenVMS Alpha only). 

  o  When multiple processes on a DECdfs client are accessing files on a
     DECdfs device, the processes may go into the LEF state if a DECnet
     error occurs on the connection between the DECdfs client and the
     DECdfs server. 

  o  On a system that is running both DECdfs and DECnet/OSI, DECdfs may
     appear to use all available DECnet connections because DECnet/OSI
     ignores requests from DECdfs to disconnect connections. 


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the
entire cluster should be rebooted.
