HP Services Software Patches - vaxdriv04_070
 
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 kits.

  2.  This kit does not and is not intended to contain any fixes
      for the DUDRIVER.EXE in OpenVMS VAX V6.0.  Please see the
      VAXSHAD04_060 ECO kit for the most current DUDRIVER.EXE
      fixes for OpenVMS VAX V6.0.


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DUDRIVER on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4, V5.5-2HF,
V6.1, V6.2 and V7.0.  This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems addressed in VAXDRIV04_070 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2,
   V5.5-2H4, V6.1, V6.2, V7.0:

  o  A PGFIPLHI system crash may occur when the controller is rebooted.

  o  A problem exists with HSJ/HSD30, 40 and 50 controllers where,
     after an event that initiates Mountverfication, a packet 
     acknowledgment will fail to complete.  The controller will 
     report that it is making progress on the command, but will 
     never finish.  This causes all IO to the affected devices to 
     hang.  


Problems addressed in VAXDRIV03_070:

  o  The system will get repetitive Volume Processing Messages on
     Host Based Volume Shadowing Disks.  The CDDB$W_RSTRTCNT field
     of the member devices will be incrementing as seen in the
     Reinit Count field under SDA.


Problems addressed in VAXDRIV02_070 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2,
  V5.5-2H4, V5.5-2HF, V6.1, V6.2, and V7.0:

  o  A shadow set can be successfully mounted on a client.  When 
     a mount of the same shadow set is tried on a local (server)
     node, it fails.

  o  A node may hang due to no quorum after losing its connection 
     to the quorum disk.

  o  DUDRIVER does not log IRP information.


Problems addressed in VAXDRIV01_070:

  o  Static load balancing does not work as it designed to.

  o  System crashes occur in DUDRIVER, usually at FUNCTION_EXIT:.
     However, the crashes may also occur in other places.

  o  The errorlog does not contain any information on the actual
     outstanding command that has timed out from a Get Command
     Status (GCS) query issued from DUDRIVER to the MSCP Server.

  o  Host Based Shadowset Virtual Units hang in MountVerification.
     All IO to the device is stalled.


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.
