OpenVMS VMS712_LAT-V0100 Alpha V7.1-2 LAT ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS VMS712_LAT-V0100 Alpha V7.1-2 LAT ECO Summary

New Kit Date:       25-OCT-2001
Modification Date:  Not Applicable
Modification Type:  New Kit
 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for LAT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2. This 
kit addresses the following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS712_LAT-V0100 KIT:

  o  Due to a protocol error, an INCONSTATE  bugcheck  occurred  in
     routine LT$PROT_VIO while tearing down a virtual circuit.

          Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$LTDRIVER.EXE

  o  On a virtual LTA device,  some  applications  may  hang  after
     receiving  an XOFF character when TTSYNC was set.  Virtual LTA
     devices are created by using  the  DCL  command  SET  HOST/LAT
     .

  o  An  INCONSTATE  crash  occurs  in  SYS$LTDRIVER   in   routine
     LT$XMT_RUN.  See partial crash dump summary below:

INSTALLATION NOTES:

This kit requires a system reboot.  Compaq strongly recommends that
a  reboot  is performed immediately after kit installation to avoid
system instability

If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also  be
rebooted  in  order  to make use of the new image(s).  If it is not
possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a
rolling re-boot may be performed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software installation  utility
by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the
DCL prompt:

PRODUCT INSTALL VMS712_LAT /SOURCE=[location of Kit]

The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that
contains the kit.

Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing
HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt

Special Installation Instructions:

  o  Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions

     During installation,  this  kit  will  ask  and  require  user
     response  to  several  questions.  If you wish to automate the
     installation of this kit and avoid having to provide responses
     to  these  questions,  you must create a DCL command procedure
     that includes the following definitions and commands:

       1.  Define systemwide logical NO_ASK$BACKUP as TRUE

       2.  Define systemwide logical NO_ASK$REBOOT as TRUE

       3.  Add  the  following  qualifiers  to  the  PRODUCT  INSTALL
           command and add that command to the DCL procedure.

                /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0

       4.  De-assign the logicals assigned

     For  example,  a  sample   command   file   to   install   the
     VMS712_LAT-V0100 kit would be:

            $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
            $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE
            $!
            $ PROD INSTALL VMS712_LAT/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
            $!
            $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
            $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT
            $ exit
