HP Services Software Patches - vaxboot01_061
 
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.

PRODUCT:    OpenVMS VAX

COMPONENT:  Booting from InfoServer 

SOURCE:     Digital Equipment Corporation

ECO INFORMATION:

     ECO Kit Name:  VAXBOOT01_061
     ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit:  None 
     ECO Kit Approximate Size:  1080 Blocks
     Kit Applies To:  OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4, V6.0, V6.1
     System/Cluster Reboot Necessary:  Yes

     NOTE:  Please review the Installation Notes section
            below before beginning the installation of this
            ECO kit.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for InfoServer/Boot on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2
through V6.1.  This kit addresses the following problem: 

  o  When an attempt is made to perform an installation from an 
     InfoServer using an OpenVMS VAX Version 5.5-2, 5.5-2H4, 6.0, 
     or 6.1 Operating System CD-ROM placed in an RRD43 CD drive,  
     the system may fail to boot from that CD-ROM.  One indicator
     of this problem is a "reserved operand fault" followed by a 
     system halt.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

This kit includes remedial ISL files that correct the stated
problem.  However, because this code runs only when the Operating
System CD-ROM is booted, completion of the kit installation requires
additional steps be taken after the kit is installed. The kit
installation will move the ISL_LVAX_*R.SYS files to directory
SYS$UPDATE on the system disk.  To complete installation of this kit
follow these instructions: 

  METHOD 1:  Use  only if your InfoServer has a hard disk that can be
             cut into partitions.

         1.  From the System manager account set default to directory
             SYS$UPDATE.

         2.  Enter the command:        DIRECTORY/SIZE ISL_*.SYS
             to  view  the  list  of ISL files and their sizes.  Note
             which version of the files you will need for your system
             and how many blocks they require so you can specify that
             information in step 4.

             For an OpenVMS VAX Version 6.1 system, you will need the
             following:

                             ISL_LVAX_061R.SYS
                             ISL_SVAX_061R.SYS

             For an OpenVMS VAX Version 6.0 system, you will need the
             following:

                            ISL_LVAX_060R.SYS
                            ISL_SVAX_060R.SYS

             For an OpenVMS VAX Version V5.5-2, 5.5-2H4 system, you will
             need the following:

                            ISL_LVAX_U2H4055R.SYS
                            ISL_SVAX_U2H4055R.SYS

         3. Log  in to  the  InfoServer  that has a hard disk that is
            available to cut into partitions.

         4. On the InfoServer do the following:

            a. Create a block large enough for the ISL_LVAX_061R file
               by  entering  the  following command at the InfoServer
               prompt:

               InfoServer> CREATE PART DK1:ISL_LVAX_061R BLOCKS 180

            b. Create  a  service  that  points  to  the partition by
               entering the following command:

               InfoServer> CREATE SERVICE ISL_LVAX_061R FOR DK1:ISL_LVAX_061R

         6. On  the  OpenVMS VAX  system  that  has access to the ISL
            files, do the following:

             a. Start  the  InfoServer  client  (if it is not already
                started)
             b. Bind to the service.
             c. Mount the disk.
             d. Copy the file.
             e. Dismount the disk.

            For example:

             $ @SYS$STARTUP:ESS$STARTUP CLIENT
             $ MCR ESS$LADCP BIND/WRITE ISL_LVAX_061R
             $ MOUNT/FOR DAD$ISL_LVAX_061R
             $ COPY/CONT ISL_LVAX_061R.SYS DAD$ISL_LVAX_061R:
             $ DISMOUNT/UNLOAD DAD$ISL_LVAX_061R

         7. Log  back  into  the  InfoServer and , with the following
            commands, set   characteristics  that   will   allow  the
            InfoServer to down-line load the ISL_LVAX_061R  partition
            (that you just  created):

              InfoServer> SET PARTITION DK1:ISL_LVAX_061R MOP ENABLED
              InfoServer> DELETE SERVICE ISL_LVAX_061R

         8. Repeat steps 2 through 6 but  replace  ISL_LVAX_061R with
            ISL_SVAX_061R.  (For an OpenVMS VAX V6.0 system,  replace
            ISL_LVAX_060R  with  ISL_SVAX_060R ,  for  an OpenVMS VAX
            V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4   system ,   replace   ISL_LVAX_U2H4055R
            with  ISL_SVAX_U2H4055R.)

         9. Boot the  operating  system CD-ROM through the InfoServer,
            as described  in the  OpenVMS VAX Upgrade and Installation
            Manual.  However,  instead   of   specifying  one  of  the
            ISL file names listed  in   the  table  that  is  included
            in  that  manual, substitute one of the following:

                  ISL_LVAX_061R      (instead of ISL_LVAX_061)
                  ISL_SVAX_061R      (instead of ISL_SVAX_061)
                  ISL_LVAX_060R      (instead of ISL_LVAX_060)
                  ISL_SVAX_060R      (instead of ISL_SVAX_060)
                  ISL_LVAX_U2H4055R  (instead of ISL_LVAX_U2H4055)
                  ISL_SVAX_U2H4055R  (instead of ISL_SVAX_U2H4055


  METHOD 2: Use only on a running OpenVMS VAX system  that has service
            enabled through DECnet.

         1. From the System manager account,  set default to directory
            SYS$UPDATE.

         2. Copy the  remedial ISL files to MOM$SYSTEM: on the OpenVMS
            VAX node that has DECnet service enabled.

            For an OpenVMS VAX V6.1 system, copy as follows:

                     $ COPY ISL_LVAX_061R.SYS MOM$SYSTEM:
                     $ COPY ISL_SVAX_061R.SYS MOM$SYSTEM:                   `

            For an OpenVMS VAX V6.0 system, copy as follows:

                     $ COPY ISL_LVAX_060R.SYS MOM$SYSTEM:
                     $ COPY ISL_SVAX_060R.SYS MOM$SYSTEM:

            For an OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2. V5.5-2H4 system, copy
            as follows:

                     $ COPY ISL_LVAX_U2H4055R.SYS MOM$SYSTEM:
                    $ COPY ISL_SVAX_U2H4055R.SYS MOM$SYSTEM:

         3. Boot the operating  system  CD-ROM through the InfoServer,
            as described in  the OpenVMS VAX Upgrade  and Installation
            Manual. However, instead of specifying one of the ISL file
            names listed in the table that is included in that manual,
            substitute one of the following:

                  ISL_LVAX_061R      (instead of ISL_LVAX_061)
                  ISL_SVAX_061R      (instead of ISL_SVAX_061)
                  ISL_LVAX_060R      (instead of ISL_LVAX_060)
                  ISL_SVAX_060R      (instead of ISL_SVAX_060)
                  ISL_LVAX_U2H4055R  (instead of ISL_LVAX_U2H4055)
                  ISL_SVAX_U2H4055R  (instead of ISL_SVAX_U2H4055
