This can occur when a node that had the volume set mounted did not update the volume write count on dismount or on a crash. A SHOW DEVICE/REBUILD command always shows this volume as needing a rebuild. Even a SET VOLUME/REBUILD=FORCE command will not clear this rebuild status. -- COVER LETTER -- Page 2 17 September 2002 Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE - [SYSEXE]SET.EXE o MOUNT and Mount Verification sanity checks have been relaxed to correct the following issues: o A MOUNT/NOWRITE command on a disk on one cluster will now work correctly even if the disk is mounted with a /WRITE qualifier on another cluster in the SAN (Storage Area Network). Previously, depending on the order in which the mounts were executed, the mount would fail with the error message: DIFVOLMNT - different volume already mounted on this device. ** Note ** In order to receive the complete MOUNT corrections that are contained in this kit you will also need to install the VAXSYS01_073 ECO kit.
