ECO NUMBER: VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0300 PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha OPERATING SYSTEM V7.2-1H1 UPDATE PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha OPERATING SYSTEM V7.2-1H1 COVER LETTER 1 KIT NAME: VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0300 2 KITS SUPERSEDED BY THIS KIT: VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0200 3 KIT DEPENDENCIES: 3.1 The following remedial kit(s), or later, must be installed BEFORE installation of this, or any required kit: VMS721H1_UPDATE-V0400 3.2 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits, or later, should also be installed: o VMS721H1_AUDSRV-V0200 o VMS721H1_MOUNT96-V0200 4 KIT DESCRIPTION: 4.1 Version(s) of OpenVMS to which this kit may be applied: OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1H1 4.2 Files patched or replaced: o [SYSMSG]CLIUTLMSG.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]CREATE.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]QUEMAN.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]SET.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]SHWCLSTR.EXE (new image) -- COVER LETTER -- Page 2 4 January 2002 5 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0300 KIT o After installation of VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0200 ECO kit, a SHOW QUEUE command gives incorrect output. Some fields are not displayed in the correct columns and some data items in the show queue and show entry displays are missing completely. For example a SHOW QUEUE/ALL command leads to the following output: Entry Jobname Username Status ----- ------- -------- ------ 119 TEST no privilege File: SLS Pending Images Affected: - [SYSMSG]CLIUTLMSG.EXE 6 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0200 KIT o When a process exists on the system that is in the MUTEX or CEF state, a SHOW SYSTEM command will ACCVIO when the /STATE qualifier is used. For example: QUEBIT> SHOW SYS/STATE=MUTEX %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=FFFFFFFFC0022A58, PC=0000000000042BE0, PS=0000001B Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE o The system can crash with an SSRVEXCEPT bugcheck in SHOW+61DA0 or SHOW+62050. with an ACCVIO executing instruction LDL R18,#X0014(R0) and R0=007812f2 %SHOW-E-INSVIRMEM This problem has been seen when running the Apache WEB server. Crashdump Summary Information: ------------------------------ Bugcheck Type: SSRVEXCEPT, Unexpected system service exception Current Process: APACHE$WWW_19 Current Image: DSA100:[SYS1.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE Failing PC: 00000000.00051DA0 SHOW+61DA0 Failing PS: 00000000.00000003 Module: SHOW Offset: 00061DA0 -- COVER LETTER -- Page 3 4 January 2002 Crashdump Summary Information: ------------------------------ Bugcheck Type: SSRVEXCEPT, Unexpected system service exception Current Process: APACHE$WWW_20 Current Image: DSA1:[SYS2.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE Failing PC: 00000000.00052050 SHOW+62050 Failing PS: 00000000.00000003 Module: SHOW Offset: 00062050 Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE o On volumes where the INDEXF.SYS file size exceeds the MAXFILES value for the volume, a volume rebuild operation will ACCVIO. VERIFY shows no problems but the commands to rebuild the volume will consistently fail. Note: To receive this complete change you must also install the VMS721H1_MOUNT-V0200 ECO kit. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SET.EXE o When a SHOW QUEUE command is entered, a queue entry number that is over 10 million shows as asterisks rather than the queue entry number. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]QUEMAN.EXE - [SYSMSG]CLIUTLMSG.EXE o A SET VOLUME/REBUILD command on a volume set, where a node that had it mounted did not update the volume write count on dismount (or a crash), does not reset the volume write count to the correct number of writers in the cluster. A SHOW DEVICE/REBUILD command always shows this volume as needing a rebuild. Even a SET VOLUME/REBUILD=FORCE will not clear this rebuild status. Note: To receive this complete change you must also install the VMS721H1_MOUNT96-V0200 ECO kit. -- COVER LETTER -- Page 4 4 January 2002 Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE o In a SET FILE/LOG/VERSION command, the /LOG qualifier is ignored. For example: SYSTEM1>SET FILE/LOG/VER LOGIN.COM; SYSTEM1> The correct behavior is: SYSTEM1>SET FILE/LOG/VER LOGIN.COM; %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK:[USER1]LOGIN.COM;2 modified SYSTEM1> Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SET.EXE o An invalid "error opening file" message could be displayed. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SET.EXE o The output of a CREATE/DIRECTORY/LOG command prints the resulting directory name in uppercase, regardless of the actual on-disk case. The actual directory is created correctly, but the informational message does not reflect the actual case of the directory. For example: $ SET DEFAULT DISK:[TEST] $ SET PROCESS/PARSE=EXTENDED $ CREATE/DIRECTORY/LOG [TEST.MixedCaseDir] %CREATE-I-CREATED, DISK:[TEST.MIXEDCASEDIR] created $ dir Mixed*.dir Directory DISK:[test] MixedCaseDir.DIR;1 Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]CREATE.EXE -- COVER LETTER -- Page 5 4 January 2002 o When DCL SHOW LOGICAL command is issued, a MTXCNTNONZ bugcheck could occur during logical name translation. Crashdump Summary Information: ------------------------------ Bugcheck Type: MTXCNTNONZ, Mutex count nonzero at system service exit Current Process: APACHE$WWW_7 Current Image: DSA30:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE Failing PC: FFFFFFFF.80080FD4 __RELEASE_SERVICE_ERROR_EXCEPT+00094 Failing PS: 38000000.00000000 Module: EXCEPTION (Link Date/Time: 26-APR-2001 12:37:41.13) Offset: 00018FD4 Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE o When doing SHOW PROCESS/ID=xxxx, if the process resides on a VAX cluster member, the following error is displayed: %SYSTEM-F-INCOMPAT, feature incompatible with previous system version Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE o When using SHOW CLUSTER/OUTPUT and SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS' commands with a WRITE command, the output is truncated after the first page, even though additional nodes should be displayed on a second page. This problem occurs if there are a large number of nodes (OpenVMS and/or HSx nodes) and the display is less than 132 characters wide. Images Affected: - [SYSEXE]SHWCLSTR.EXE 7 KIT INSTALLATION RATING: The following kit installation rating, based upon current CLD information, is provided to serve as a guide to which customers should apply this remedial kit.
