OpenVMS ALPSDA02_061 Alpha V6.1 SDA ECO Summary

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. ******************************************************************************** Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1997.

PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: SDA.EXE SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPSDA02_061 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPSDA01_061 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1574 Blocks Saveset A - 1566 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for SDA on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V6.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems: o SDA does not handle relocatable global (non-universal) symbols correctly if they are in resident images. Problems addressed in the ALPSDA01_061 kit: o When the user tries to examine addresses in S1 space (for example, C0000000 and above), SDA refuses. An error message is generated such as "%SDA-E-REGNOTVLD, register reference invalid - use indirection (@Rn)". INSTALLATION NOTES: The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed. However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS Alpha cluster, they should be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to make use of the new image(s).
