HP Services Software Patches - vaxsys16_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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for Working Set Management on OpenVMS VAX V6.1.
This kit addresses the following problem:

Problems Addressed in VAXSYS16_061:

  o  $PURGWS executes at elevated IPL.  For processes with very
     large working sets (hundreds of thousands of pages) this can
     mean several seconds at IPL8.  This causes other things to
     break and time-out (e.g., cluster connections).

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS VAX V6.2


Problems Addressed in VAXSYS02_061:

  o  Beginning with OpenVMS VAX V6.0, creation of a detached process
     or a subprocess results in the permanent loss of 4 pages from
     the process page file quota.  Repeat spawning will eventually
     deplete the process page file quota.

     This problem was fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.2.


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
entire cluster should be rebooted.
