ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for the MONITOR Utility on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through 
V6.1.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in VAXMONT01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4, 
V6.0, and V6.1:

  o  When the 'MONITOR DISK' command is issued on a system with DFS 
     devices mounted, only the first three characters of the DFS
     disk name are displayed correctly.  The last character is
     often displayed as a non-printable character or as an escape
     sequence.  This may cause terminal lock-ups, resetting of
     terminal characteristics or other unexpected terminal side effects.

  o  The 'MONITOR DISK' command may appear to hang when monitoring
     a system with more than 800 disks.  An error occurs, but the
     error status is not displayed.  The hang may also occur when a
     MONITOR CLUSTER command is issued.  

  o  Due to an inadequate synchronization mechanism, the 'MONITOR
     DISK' command can go into an infinite loop on multi-processor
     machines.

     In order to receive the complete fix for this problem, one of
     the following kits will also need to be installed:

           o  For OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:  VAXSYS12_U2055

           o  For OpenVMS VAX V6.0 and V6.1:  The most current
              Volume Shadowing kit

  o  Use of the 'MONITOR PROCESS' command in a local environment will 
     fail if the SYSGEN parameter MAXPROCESSCNT is set to allow more 
     than 1040 processes.  When Virtual Balance Slots were added in 
     OpenVMS V6.0, this number dropped to 978.


Problems Addressed in VAXMONT01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 and V5.5-2H4:

  o  In a mixed version OpenVMScluster, the following MONITOR
     command will crash the target V6.0 node if it is issued 
     from a V5.5-2 node:

          $MONITOR STATES,POOL,DECNET,LOCK /NODE=V6.0_node


Problems Addressed in VAXMONT03_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:

  o  The image to correct the MAXPROCESSCNT problem should have
     been included in the VAXMON02_U2055 kit.  It was not.


Problems Addressed in VAXMON02_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:

  o  An error occurs when using the following MONITOR command:                
                                                                              
          $ MONITOR [CLASS] /NODE={nodelist}                                  
                                                                              
     The error indicates that the connection to a remote node                 
     has been lost and the collection activity terminates for                 
     that node.                                                               

  o  The MONITOR process class will not function if the SYSGEN               
     parameter MAXPROCESSCNT is larger than 1040.  The following              
     errors will be returned:                                                 
                                                                              
          %MONITOR-E-COLLERR, error during data collection                    
          -SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value                             


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 VAXcluster, the 
entire cluster must be rebooted.
