HP Services Software Patches - alptnt01_071
 
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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DISKIMAG.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1.  
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  DISKIMAG.EXE is an OpenVMS Management Station  V2.1  file  that
     ships with the OpenVMS Alpha operating systems.  The file shipped 
     with OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 is in the wrong file format and therefore,  
     corrupt.   The file is shipping as "stream" and should be in the 
     format "Fixed length 512 byte records".

     DISKIMAG.EXE  is  located  in   the   [TNT.CLIENT]   directory.
     Normally,   the   customer   would  FTP  the  DISKIMAG.EXE  and
     TNTCLID%.IMG  files  from  [TNT.CLIENT]  to  their   PC.    The
     DISKIMAG.EXE file is then used to expand the TNTCLID%.IMG files
     to create floppy media used to install the  OpenVMS  Management
     Station  on a PC.  However, if the customer attempts to use the
     current DISKIMAG.EXE shipped with OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 to  expand
     the TNTCLID%.IMG files, the program will fail and be terminated
     by Windows.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS VMScluster, they should
be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to
make use of the new image(s). 

After installation is complete, FTP the DISKIMAG.EXE and TNTCLID%.IMG  
files from [TNT.CLIENT] to your PC.  The DISKIMAG.EXE file is then used 
to expand the TNTCLID%.IMG files to create floppy media.  Use this media 
to install the OpenVMS Management Station on a PC.
