AlphaServer SC patch kit:
==========================

AlphaServer SC Version : SCv2.6 SSB
Kit Name: SCV26SSB106134
Release Date: 03/05/2004
PTR: 153-2-1361
IPMT Number: CFS.106134
Abstract: pfsmgr support for dashes and old-style FS domain names.

You do not need to build or deploy kernels or reboot any nodes to install
this patch. You do need to take all PFS file systems off line however.


Description of Patch:
=====================
1. Adds support to pfsmgr for machines with dashes in their names. While
   dashes in the machine name have never been allowed in any SC version
   older versions of the installer did not prevent the user from doing
   it anyway. As a result there are a few machines in existence that have
   dashes in their names - the machine name was preserved through various
   upgrades. Without this patch these machines would be unable to mount
   PFS file systems after they were upgraded to V2.6.

2. Corrects a problem in "pfsmgr create" on V2.6 machines that use old-style
   domain names like atlas[A-Z]. Without this patch newly created V2.6 PFS
   file systems will fail to mount on the file serving domain that hosts
   their disks if that domain has an old-style name like atlasB. Domains
   with new-style names like atlasD4 are not affected. PFS file systems
   that existed before the upgrade to V2.6 work OK with or without this
   patch - the problem only affects the creation of new file systems.
