TITLE: OpenVMS ALPMANA02_070 Alpha V6.1/ V7.0 SYSMAN/SMISERVER ECO Summary
Modification Date: 12-AUG-1999
Modification Type: Modified Kit: Fixes for OpenVMS Alpha
V6.2* have been moved to
ALPMANA02_062.
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 SYSMAN and STARTUP on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 and
V7.0. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:
o SYSMAN 'DO' commands that result in very long output records
result in errors similar to the following:
-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
-SYSTEM-F-MBTOOSML, mailbox is too small for request
There may be some SYSMAN truncation errors also.
o The SYSMAN 'PARAM SET' command, when executed on a cluster,
would return with an extraneous NOMORENODE error message.
o With the SYSMAN 'DO' command, certain DCL commands that do not
have output (e.g., SYSMAN> DO DEFINE XXX YYY) would take at
least 10 seconds/node to complete.
Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:
o SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! at the beginning of its
command line. All characters subsequent to the ! are ignored
and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt. A
regression in behavior occurred causing a ! character at the
beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return:
%CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic first
character
Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_061:
o For nodes running DECNET Phase V, SYSMAN may return the
following errors:
%SYSMAN-I-NODERR, error returned from node
LIB-F-INSEF, insufficient event flags
when repeatedly issuing a DO command, exiting and then
re-entering SYSMAN to issue another DO command. Mailboxes
were not being deassigned at the end of the SYSMAN session.
This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
o SMISERVER experiences intermittent hangs, particularly when
SYSMAN DO commands are issued from within a batch job.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha 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.
