ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for the DCL command 'SHOW CLUSTER' (SHWCLSTR) on
OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2.  This kit addresses the following 
problems: 

Problems Addressed in the ALPCLIU02_071 Kit:

  o  The ALPCLIU01_071 remedial kit did not fully correct the problems
     listed.  This kit does that. 


Problems Addressed in the ALPCLIU01_071 Kit:

  o  System crashes with a PGFIPLHI, Pagefault with Interrupt Priority
     Level (IPL) too high, after entering a SHOW CLUSTER/CONT command
     and adding PORT class information. 

          Crash FOOTPRINT: From SDA> CLUE CRASH

          Crash Time:        28-APR-1997 09:41:36.33
          Bugcheck Type:     PGFIPLHI, Pagefault with IPL too high
          Node:              XXXX  (Clustered)
          CPU Type:          Alpha
          VMS Version:       V6.2-1H3
          Current Process:   XXXX
          Current Image:     $1$DUA50:[SYS4.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHWCLSTR.EXE
          Failing PC:        00000000 00061080
          Failing PS:        2C000000 00000803
          Module:            SHWCLSTR
          Offset:            00061080

  o  Modified date and time format for the SHOW CLUSTER utility.  Signed
     integer fields can now be displayed. 

  o  For date/time display elements, the SHOW CLUSTER command shows only
     the last two digits of the year.  This can be seen by executing 
     any of the following 'Add' commands in SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS: 

          SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS
          Add> ADD FORMED
          Add> ADD LAST_TRANSITION
          Add> ADD TRANSITION

     If the system time is set to sometime in the year 2000, the year
     is displayed as "00". 

     This change allows year to be displayed as a full four digit number.


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.
