TITLE: OpenVMS ALPCPU1E03_071 Alpha V7.1 - V7.1-1H2 CPU ROUTINES ECO Summary
Modification Date: 1-DEC-98
Modification Type: Updated Kit: Supersedes ALPCPU1E02_071
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$CPU_ROUTINES_1E05 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1
through V7.1-1H2.
Problems Addressed in ALPCPU1E03_071:
o A user installing the KZPAC Raid controller from Mylex into an
Alpha Personal Workstation 600 AU series machine will see the
following printed message from the console and from the VMS
driver:
MBX_DONE bit not set when expected.
There are also associated device errors logged on the KZPAC.
Problems Addressed in ALPCPU1E02_071:
o ******* WARNING *******
Setting the SYSGEN parameter VMSD4 to 1 would be done at the
extremely risk of permanent system failure. OpenVMS engineering
highly recommends that VMSD4 be left set to the default value
of 0, i.e., enable automatic power-off.
***********************
On all previous systems, a system fan failure automatically
triggers the power supply to remove power from the system.
On the new Alpha "DIGITAL Personal Workstation" (DPWS)
platform, operating system software is notified of any fan
failures. It must respond by removing power from the system.
This new operating system feature is required for system FRS.
For some special applications, however, one may desire to
disable automatic system power-off, which can be achieved by
setting the SYSGEN parameter VMSD4 to 1. The result will be
continued operation after fan failure, but at the risk
mentioned in the warning above.
Problems Addressed in ALPCPU1E01_H1071:
o System (620) and Processor (630) correctable machine checks are
not being logged to the error log file.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted. If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must
also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).
If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at
this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
