HP Services Software Patches - vaxlad01_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 KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for SYS$DADDRIVER, SYS$LADDRIVER, SYS$LASTDRIVER, and       
SYS$MADDRIVER on OpenVMS VAX V7.0.  This kit addresses the following problems:


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXLAD01_070 KIT:

  o  The occasional packet transmitted  by  EWDRIVER  had  a  source
     address  and protocol type of zeros, which are discarded by the     
     receiver.  The booting system then retransmitted the  packet  3     
     seconds  later.   However, since it is handling only 10 packets     
     per second, the system booted very slowly.                          
                                                                     
  o  If LADDRIVER parses connection (or solicitation) messages  that     
     have  the sign bit set in the service class (an invalid value),     
     the OpenVMS system will crash with an INVEXCEPTN bugcheck.          
                                                                     
  o  LASTDRIVER/DADDRIVER/MADDRIVER fixes:
                                                                     
     1.  Typing a CTRL/Y  at  a  certain  instance  could  cause  an     
         IO$_PACKACK  function  to a MAD device to be canceled.  The     
         result could eventually be that the system crashes  in  I/O     
         post processing.                                                
                                                                     
     2.  LADCP BIND/UNIT=x will cause a duplicate UCB unit number to     
         be  generated  if the unit number specified is greater then     
         the seed unit number.  This problem  can  happen  for  both     
         DADDRIVER and MADDRIVER.                                    
                                                                    
  o  LASTDRIVER crashes when it receives a run  message  in  circuit     
     stalled.                                                            
                                                                     
  o  When booting from a CD, the InfoServer client can't be started.     
                                                                     
  o  InfoServer Client STOP/START bugs were fixed.                       
                                                                     
  o  The system crashes in LTDRIVER when SSB is deleted  prematurely     
     while an UNLOAD is in progress.                                     
                                                                     
  o  The LASTDRIVER image crashes when it receives an  Advertisement     
     (ADV) or Solicit (SOL) message with a negative message length.      
                                                                     
  o  An overrun error on  magtape  occurs  if  the  record  size  is     
     greater then 65024.                                                 
                                                                     
  o  In the past,  BIND/TAPE/NOPERMANENT  "tape_service"  created  a     
     MADx  device  UCB  that could be deleted once the UCB reference     
     count went to zero.  Problems occurred when the UCB was deleted     
     due   to  the  use  of  the  /NOPERMANENT  qualifier,  that  is     
     multivolume BACKUP.                                                 
                                                                     
     Note:  A MAD device is a tape device that  is  attached  to  an     
     InfoServer.                                                         


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.  If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must 
also be rebooted in order to make use of the new images.  

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at
