ECO NUMBER: VAXMANA03_062 PRODUCT: OpenVMS VAX OPERATING SYSTEM V6.2 UPDATE PRODUCT: OpenVMS VAX OPERATING SYSTEM V6.2 COVER LETTER 1 KIT NAME: VAXMANA03_062. 2 KITS SUPERSEDED BY THIS KIT: VAXMANA02_062. 3 KIT DEPENDENCIES: 3.1 The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this, or any required kit: None. 3.2 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None. 4 KIT DESCRIPTION: 4.1 Version(s) of OpenVMS to which this kit may be applied: OpenVMS VAX V6.2. 4.2 Files patched or replaced: o [SYSLIB]SMI$OBJSHR.EXE (new image) o [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]SMISERVER.EXE (new image) o [SYSEXE]SYSMAN.EXE (new image) 5 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA03_062 KIT o The SYSMAN security profile is supposed to be identical on all nodes in a cluster that uses the same security environment. In some instances, however, SYSMAN uses the authorized privileges from the UAF instead of the locally set privileges on some nodes. -- COVER LETTER -- Page 2 12 February 2001 Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE 6 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA02_062 KIT o A regression exists in the VAXMANA04_070 kit relative to the VAXCLUSIO01_062 kit. The VAXMANA04_070 kit has images in common with CLUSIO (i.e. SMI$OBJSHR.EXE, SMISERVER.EXE, and SYSMAN.EXE), but the images in CLUSIO are dated later. CLUSIO documentation says to install the VAXMANA04_070 kit first (actually the VAXMANA03_070 kit, but VAXMANA04_070 supersedes it). Hence, the user receives a regression error message. This kit resolves this regression by using the latest versions of the three images, SMI$OBJSHR.EXE, SMISERVER.EXE, and SYSMAN.EXE, that were built. These three images were in common with CLUSIO. Note that no new fixes were done for these three images. o Make the SYSMAN security profile consistent clusterwide. The SYSMAN security profile is supposed to be identical on all nodes in a cluster that use the same security environment. However, SYSMAN could use the authorize privileges from the UAF, instead of the locally set privileges on some nodes. For example, for a cluster named CLUSTER, node NODE1 should have same privilege settings as another node in the cluster, NODE2.

[SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE 7 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA04_070 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.2 o Incorrect problem statement noted in the VAXMANA03_070 kit (Correct SYSMAN DISKQUOTA ENABLE|DISABLE command behavior.) This problem has not been fixed. This kit, VAXMANA04_070 removes this problem statement from the documentation. This kit does not contain any new fixes. -- COVER LETTER -- Page 4 12 February 2001 8 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA03_070 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.2 o Kit is being issued to keep V6.2 common images at the same ECO level as the VAXDOSD06_062 kit. There are no new fixes in this kit. 9 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA01_070 KIT FOR OPENVMS VAX V6.2 o SYSMAN DO commands that result in very long output records result in errors similar to the following: -RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed -SYSTEM-F-MBTOOSML, mailbox is too small for request There may be some SYSMAN truncation errors also. o The SYSMAN PARAM SET command, when executed on a cluster, would return with an extraneous NOMORENODE error message. o With the SYSMAN DO command, certain DCL commands that do not have output (e.g. SYSMAN> DO DEFINE XXX YYY) would take at least 10 seconds/node to complete. 10 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA01_062 KIT o SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! character at the beginning of its command line. All characters subsequent to the ! are ignored and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt. In OpenVMS V6.2, a regression in behavior occurred causing a ! character at the beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return the following warning: %CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic first character 11 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.
