HP Services Software Patches - vaxf11x04_060
 
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 F11BXQP.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V6.0. This kit 
addresses the following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXF11X04_060 FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.0

  o  These OpenVMS VAX V6.0 problem corrections were included in the
     multi-version  VAXF11X03_070  remedial kit.  They are now being
     issued as a V6.0 only remedial kit.

     There are no new problem corrections in this remedial kit
     

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXF11X03_061 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.0

  o  After deletion of a large  file,  the  free  disk  space  value
     reported  by  SHOW  DEVICE can indicate that disks have more or
     less free space than they actually have.

  o  Restore ability to use wildcard values for valid UIC owner  and
         group value ranges.


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXF11X03_060 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.0

  o  As of V6.0  the  XQP  MOVEFILE  primitive  allows  movement  of
     directory  files,  so  long  as no node in the cluster has data
     from these files cached.  Unfortunately the cluster-wide  check
     for   this   condition   is  broken.   This  results  in  cache
     incoherency and consequently directory file corruption.  Common
     symptoms are:

         - out of order directory listings
         - duplicate directory entries for the same file
         - "lost" files
         - inconsistent directory listings on different nodes
         - files appearing in directory listings which are not
           "accessible" from the RMS level (e.g. you can't type them)


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXF11X02_060 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.0

  o  Post V6.0 when the ACL on a file is modified the revision  date
     is  not  updated,  hence  it  will  not  be  backed  up  by  an
     incremental backup hence prospect of lost data.


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXF11X01_060 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.0

  o  When a file is open with a NL mode access lock then an  attempt
     to access an extension header may fail because the FCB chain is
     being rebuilt.

  o  The BACKUP utility accesses file  extension  headers  directly,
     without  going  through  the  synchronization  of  the  primary
     header.  This allows the FCBs for the headers being  looked  at
     by BACKUP to be deallocated by other processes.  The results of
     this  are  exhibited  as  any  one  of  several  different  XQP
     bugchecks.   The  most notable of these bugchecks are UNXSIGNAL
     (accvio), NOTFCBFCB and XQPERRs.


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.
