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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for SYS$DUDRIVER/SYS$TUDRIVER on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1. This
kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV18_061 kit:
o Attempting to perform a directory of a mounted tape causes the
process to hang and "INVALID COMMAND" MSCP END MSG* errorlog
entries to be generated.
o A PACKACK, which is issued on a local ALPHA node to an MSCP cartridge
tape drive (for example a TF86) returns success, even if there is no
cartridge in the tape drive.
This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Alpha V7.1.
o Unexpected end messages are logged on client nodes for GUS and
AVAILABLE commands.
o DUDRIVER does not FLUSH the pending queue of SHADOWING, HBR and
served IOs when connection failure routines are entered. This
causes a system/cluster hang.
o A DCL copy command to a HSD05/10 based tape drive causes a process hang.
Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV15_061 kit:
o These OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 problem corrections were included in
the multi-version ALPDRIV04_070 remedial kit. They are now
being issued as a V6.1 only remedial kit.
There are no new problem corrections in this remedial kit.
Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV04_070 kit:
o A problem exists with HSJ/HSD 30, 40 and 50 controllers. After
some event that initiates Mount Verification, a Pack-Ack will
fail to complete. The controller will report that it is making
progress on the command, but will never finish. This causes
all IO to the affected devices to be hung.
Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV03_070 kit:
o The system experiences repetitive Volume Processing Messages on
Host Based Volume Shadowing Disks. The CDDB$W_RSTRTCNT field
of the member devices will be incrementing as seen in the
REINIT Count field under SDA.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the
