OpenVMS VAXDRIV05_070 VAX V7.0 DUDRIVER 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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DUDRIVER on OpenVMS VAX V7.0. This kit
addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in the VAXDRIV05_070 Kit:
o These OpenVMS VAX 7.0 problem corrections were included in
the multi-version VAXDRIV04_070 remedial kit. They are now
being issued as a V7.0 only remedial kit.
There are no new problem corrections in this remedial kit.
Problems addressed in the VAXDRIV04_070 Kit:
o A PGFLIPLHI system crash may occur when the controller is rebooted.
o A problem exists with HSJ/HSD30, 40 and 50 controllers where,
after an event that initiates Mount Verification, a packet
acknowledgment will fail to complete. The controller will
report that it is making progress on the command, but will
never finish. This causes all IO to the affected devices to
hang.
Problems addressed in the VAXDRIV03_070 Kit:
o The system will get repetitive Volume Processing Messages on
Host Based Volume Shadowing Disks. The CDDB$W_RSTRTCNT field
of the member devices will be incrementing as seen in the
Reinit Count field under SDA.
Problems addressed in the VAXDRIV02_070 Kit:
o A shadow set can be successfully mounted on a client. When
a mount of the same shadow set is tried on a local (server)
node, it fails.
o A node may hang due to no quorum after losing its connection
to the quorum disk.
o DUDRIVER does not log IRP information.
Problems addressed in VAXDRIV01_070:
o Static load balancing does not work as it designed to.
o System crashes occur in DUDRIVER, usually at FUNCTION_EXIT:.
However, the crashes may also occur in other places.
o The errorlog does not contain any information on the actual
outstanding command that has timed out from a Get Command
Status (GCS) query issued from DUDRIVER to the MSCP Server.
o Host Based Shadowset Virtual Units hang in Mount Verification.
All IO to the device is stalled.
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.
