ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DECnet/OSI V6.2 for OpenVMS Alpha on OpenVMS Alpha
V6.1 through V6.2. This kit addresses the following problems.
Corrections for Base Components:
o Image SYS$LIBRARY:CDI$SHR.EXE
- Fix error returned to Session for NET$ACP processing.
- Increase the fixed cache size from 512 to 2048 entries.
NOTE: This will increase the required system disk space by 3,400
blocks.
- Modify success status returned to Session for NET$ACP processing.
- Domain name search path processing does not require DOMAIN:.
o Image SYS$SYSTEM:NET$ACP.EXE
- Included for CDI$SHR.EXE
o Image SYS$SYSTEM:CTF$DCP.EXE
- Prevent pool corruption when a component undeclares a trace
point.
- Add support for remote tracing from X.25 router on Alpha.
o Image SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT
- Change DTSS MET time zone rule for 1996 and 1997 daylight savings
time from the last Sunday in September to the last Sunday in
October.
NOTE: You must run NET$CONFIGURE.COM to update the rule.
o Image SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER.EXE
- Prevent INVEXCEPTN crash in SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.
o Image SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP.EXE
NOTE: The Release Notes for this ECO has the directory
location for NET$MOP.EXE listed as SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES.
This is in error. The correct directory location is
SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP.EXE.
- Change MOP Process creation to prevent failure on startup.
- Prevent MOP CCR request hang when the typeahead buffer is used
during console output.
- Add support for Software ID functions.
NOTE: To use this feature, the NCL commands are as follows:
NCL> BOOT MOP CLIENT xxxxx SOFTWARE ID "-1"
(for Software ID = Standard Operating System for VXT, etc)
NCL> BOOT MOP CLIENT xxxxx SOFTWARE ID "-2"
(for Software ID = Maintenance Operating System)
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$LOOP_APPLICATION.EXE
- Prevent NET$MIRROR_SERVER from consuming CPU time.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE
- For DNA, map NET$_CONTIMEOUT to the SS$_LINKEXIT system service
status and the MSG$_EXIT mailbox message type instead of the
incorrect SS$_UNREACHABLE/MSG$_PATHLOST.
- Prevent crash when a Cancel request is received while a
ConnectInitiate is pending. Defer calling the actual
CloseAssociation completion routine until the pending
ConnectInitiate completes.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSVCM.EXE
- Prevent crash when OCB cannot be mapped after coming back from
ACP.
NOTE: This is only for RFC1006 connection.
- Prevent crash due to insufficient memory.
- Corrections for Passive TSEL (defined by NCL) that is deleted
when the program subsequently declares TSEL and exits.
o Image SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE
- Prevent Process EMAA PGFILPHI crashes.
- Correct EMAA$BUILD_RESPONSE to make sure there is data in the
MRCP output buffer before attempting to use it.
- Correct another Process EMAA PGFILPHI crash.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE
- Prevent possible crash with corrupted Phase IV header.
- Correct timeout handling on point-to-point circuits. When
invoking async DDCMP, a crash could occur if the DECnet/OSI node
initiates the link to Phase IV and times out waiting for node
verification.
- Remove forced bugcheck on a broadcast VCI UNUSABLE event when the
VCIB state is not RUNNING or STOPPING and instead signal a
datalink down.
- Prevent alias_id in LPD from being corrupted during fork
processing.
- Check the packet size against datalink buffer size for all
packets. Do not send probe packets if the datalink size is too
small. When flooding the circuits, segment packets if necessary.
- In the HDLC VCI interface, if the datalink reported port unusable
with an unexpected reason code, report a physical layer failure
only.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE
- Prevent possible pool corruption.
- Correct IP backtranslation of IP mail headers.
- Prevent ACP crash while running NET$CONFIGURE option 2 in
ACP$UPDATEBACKTRANSTASK.
- Synchronize the execution of DeAllocatePortSubentity at IPL 8.
The unsynchronized execution of DeAllocatePortSubentity on one
thread (due to an incoming disconnect) was deallocating the
port block (SPB) while ParseIncomingCIMsg was still using the SPB
to process an incoming connect on another thread. Crash
footprints varied and included PARSEINCOMINGCIMSG,
NET_EMAA_LIBRARY_ROUTINES, NET$QUE$REMQHI or
SCL$OUTGOINGTIMEREXPIRED.
- Correct session internal name length problem. On NCL> advertise
dtss server name xxxx, DNS was rejecting a dns$_read_attribute
request from session with dns$_invalid_entryname status because
session was passing to DNS a internal full name with incorrect
length.
- Correct crash in DNACloseAssocComplete on NET$QUE$REMQHI with
BADQHDR, Interlocked queue header corrupted.
- Correct another PARSEINCOMINGCIMSG.
- Only deallocate memory that has been allocated in FindApplic.
- Correct DNA CONTROLCOMPLETE while processing connect accept
during association rundown. These crashes have been seen on
STOP/ID for the DECdns server process.
- Correct crash TESTLCLAPPDB Accept complete.
- Prevent DECnet bugcheck in SCL$OUTGOINGTIMEREXPIRED.
- Correct crash on DEALLOCATEPORTSUBENTITY.
- Correct outgoing connect timer synchronization between threads
starting and stopping this timer.
- Reduce the amount of time it takes to report that an application
does not exist. This time was not being reported until after the
incoming timer expired. The connection will now be rejected as
soon as Session determines that the application does not exist.
- Correct the disconnect reason code used when an incoming
connection request times out. Use SCL$K_RC_TimedOut as the
disconnect reason code when an incoming connection request times
out without having been either explicitly accepted or rejected by
the user application.
- Modify $IPC user data to be compatible with $QIO by adding
receive disconnect user data to the RECEIVE_EVENT function.
- Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN hangs on Disable Session Control.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE
- Prevent crash on illegal disconnect.
- Change handling of Report Event VCRPs for Alpha only.
o SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE
- Include for Routing LPD change.
- Correct for dropped links while SET HOST to a Phase IV node.
- Prevent NSP ports from remaining until they timed out,
sending disconnects.
- Correct NETNOSTATE crash.
- Prevent crash on shutdown in NSP alias processing.
- Correct probe of zero length buffer.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE
- Correct inbound synchronous disconnects with DECnet/IP and PMR.
- Enforce more error condition checking for DECnet/IP.
- Prevent crash where invalid CR with no source-reference is
received before the RSP has been mapped.
- Handle crash in OSITP$FLOW_CONTROL_TP4.
- Handle a receive complete for a VCIB which had already been
deallocated.
- Correct DECnet over TCP/IP connection hangs if the user does
$SET RMS /NETWORK=64 (or even =32) and pushes a file. The
transmitter (OSI Transport) had given TCP/IP a whole window's
worth of TPDU-buffers and TCP/IP did not release them. The
solution was to compute a new threshold number by adjusting the
recv-threshold to have it reflect the TCP window in use.
- Consolidate tracepoints for window tracing to prevent trace
records lost with CTF.
- Correct crash lowering to IPL2 with no process context.
- Correct crash on double deallocation during invalid CR tpdu.
- Prevent class 2 hang when xmitsegquota was equal to xmitsegcount.
- Correct INVEXCEPTN bugcheck due to bad "reason code."
- Correct memory leak on Solicit VCRP.
- Correct transmit failure "%REM-F-NETERR, DECnet channel error on
remote terminal link" when more than 127 chained DCB are given to
CTI.
- Prevent crash on handling of duplicate CR with a bad checksum.
- Prevent crash on duplicate/clone VCRP.
- Remove unnecessary CTI buffer caching.
- Change handling of Report Event VCRPs for Alpha only.
- Improve performance over links active for many hours.
- Correct probe of zero length buffer.
o Image SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE
- Include SMP change for interlocked queue manipulation in
NET_MACRO_UTILITIES.
- Increase the maximum size of NET$CONFIG.DAT to 100 blocks for
RAID system disk.
- Disallow SET directive for FDDI and CSMA modules.
- Update ECO number in DECnet version "050808"
o New trace images included in SYS$LIBRARY for compatibility

INSTALLATION NOTES:
This ECO is installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility.
Product Kit Name: DNVOSIECO08
PCSI Kit Name: DEC-AXPVMS-DNVOSIECO08-V0602--4.PCSI
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.
INSTALLATION CAUTION:
Due to an error in the POLYCENTER Software Installation, it is not
possible to install OSAK SPI Interface V3.0 or X.25 V1.0D after
installing this ECO kit.
The OSAK and X.25 PCSI installations require DECnet/OSI V6.2 which
causes the installation process to remove DNVOSIECO08. This will leave
the system without a SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE and it is not possible to
reboot.
The original installation order must be preserved. This will be
corrected in a future release.
Installation Order
Place each PCSI kit in a unique source directory.
1) DECNET_OSI V6.2 /Source=[KITS.DECNET]
2) X.25 V1.0-D /Source=[KITS.X25]
3) OSAK V3.0-L /Source=[KITS.OSAK]
4) FTAM V3.2-F /Source=[KITS.FTAM]
5) DNVOSIECO08 V6.2 /Source=[KITS.ECO]
