HP Services Software Patches - vaxlat02_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.

Problems Addressed in VAXLAT02_071:

  o  VCRP packets are being overwritten.  A new symbol, VCRP_LAN_PKT_LEN,
     has been defined to include max VCRP header.

  o  A CREATE LINE LINK$NAME/DEV=XXA0: command in LATCP can crash
     the system.

  o  After executing the following commands:

       LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE1/APPL
       LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE2/APPL
       LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE3/APPL
       LATCP> DELETE SERVICE SERVICE2
       LATCP> SET SERVICE SERVICE3/STATIC_RATING=1

     the static ratings for services following SERVICE2 can not  be
     changed.


Problems Addressed in VAXLAT01_071:

  o  LATACP crashes with PGFIPLHI                                       
                                                                    
  o  LTDRIVER crashes with INVEXCEPTN        
                                                                    
  o  Some applications use break, through  the  system  service,  to    
     write to their numerous terminals at the same time.  When LATCP    
     is running, the management LTA device created by LATCP is  also    
     broadcast  to.   This  slows  done the application to the point    
     where the application exhausts its byte limit                      
                                                                    
  o  An MC LATCP CREATE PORT command with  an  invalid  device  name    
     will crash the system.                                             
                                                                    
  o  Set Host/LAT fails between nodes in same the cluster.
