TITLE: DECnet/OSI DNVOSIA_E03072 DECnet-Plus V7.2-1 For OpenVMS Alpha ECO Summary

New Kit Date     :  07-MAY-2001
Modification Date:  Not Applicable
Modification Type:  Updated Kit  Supersedes DNVOSIA_E02072

NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

       - Prevent Round Robin queue corruption.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$CCR.EXE: 
       - Include for compatibility with NET$MOP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM: 
       - Modify error handling on temporary files.
       - Prevent  %RMS-W-RTB,  byte record too large for user's buffer.
       - Correct password generation.
       - A reboot is no longer required after running NET$CONFIGURE
         to configure DECnet-Plus for the very first time.
       - On Phase IV migration of FDDI routing circuits change type to "FDDI".

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE:
       - Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs with
         QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone.  Double close associations precipitated
         this modification.  Both QIO_EXECUTE and QIO_COMPLETION were
         modified to add a new bit to check if the association has already
         been closed and if the channel can be deallocated.
       - Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV behavior
         of stepping on the first byte of user data to make it a counted
         string IF the user application did not supply this necessary count.
       - Correct ExecuteDeaccess code latency when the connection was not
         yet in the run state and it was aborted.  This will now allow the
         abort to happen if 1) the channel type indicates that there is some
         semblance of a connection and b) in all states except for those that
         indicate that the connection is already in the process of being torn d
         i.e., ACinProg, CAinProg or DCinProg.
       - Prevent NET device $ASSIGN before the driver has been initialized.
       - Prevent possible page fault at elevated IPL bugcheck in deaccess.
       - Acquire and release IOLOCK8 in a macro for the DAB queue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$EVD_RELAY_FORMATTER:
       - Include for compatiblity with NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER:
       - Create new filters to block the following CSMA and FDDI events
         to correct the command RESET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM.
         The global filter will block the following events by default:
            ((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu)
            ((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer)
            ((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination)
         If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation
         time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying
         the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to
         pass one or more of these events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE:
       - If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old
         NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific
         NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following
         duplicate block command:
         BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream
         GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client).
       - Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default,
         the following pass commands have been added:
         !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
         !   ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU)
         !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
         !   ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer)
         !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
         !   ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination)

         If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by
         copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use
         these commands or not, please update that site-specific
         NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP:
       - Prevent KRNSTAKNV crash with DECthreads changes in V7.2-1.
       - Rewrite MOP CCR RunConsole and improve performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$MOPS0.EXE:
        - Include for compatibility with NET$MOP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$NISCS_LAA.EXE:
       - Alpha only - Permit loads from devices using SCSI PACs
         (Port Allocation Classes).
       - Prevent KRNLSKNV crash during load with host based shadowed disk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSDRIVER.EXE:
        - Include for compatibility with NET$DRIVER.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE:
       - Include for compatibility with SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES
       - Prevent possible system crash with a negative or zero
         entity count in the IVK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE:
       - Correct Phase V to Phase IV translation padding on transmit
         header.
       - Prevent possible shutdown crash on disable when a WCB contained
         an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard.
         Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close.
       - Prevent invalid NSAP on initial ES hello message by checking the
         area address and not the HIORD of the NSAP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_IS.EXE:
       - Prevent possible crash with X.25 PVCs.
       - X.25 circuit enable code was modified to prevent possible
         corruption if the X.25 channel was disconnected.
       - Raise the maximum allowed circuits from 20 to 40.
       - Modify the use of R9 to avoid corruption in LES (Alpha only).
       - Prevent Alias shutdown crash when the alias port was deallocated.
       - Correct Alias forwarding logic.
       - Remove possible alias_IDdisable forced bugcheck.
       - Prevent possible system crash in net$fwd_pkt_GetBuffer.
       - Prevent shutdown crash if the CDB went away before the routing
         filter was removed.
       - Insure forwarding buffer queue synchronization by adding IOLOCK8.
       - Modify alias forwarding to prevent the "transmit queue length" from
         becoming negative, and subsequent packets from being discarded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$SDA.EXE:
       - Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes.
       - Add updates for TPCONS, X25 Relay, and XOT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$SERVER.EXE:
    Image Identification:   "V7.2-1ECO03"      28-MAR-2001 15:01:00.64
       - Prevent possible %IPC-F-DCLSRVFAIL when the NETSERVER$TIMEOUT
         is set to zero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE:
       - Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is
         now obsolete.
       - Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry.
         A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with
         ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation.
       - Resolve SMP  PGFIPLHI  trying  to  access an EIB port that no
         longer existed.
       - Include  proxy  information  for  use by LOGINOUT with SYSGEN

       - Alpha only use the name string from the PSB instead of GETJPI.
       - Prevent possible shutdown crash when the component is in  the
         OFF state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM:
       - Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical
         was defined.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
       - Prevent  possible  system  crash on a disconnect indication.
       - Remove statetable bugchecks.
       - Include VCIB  sanity checks in all locations which fork to a
         completion routine since it is theoretically possible for an
         I/O completion after port deletion in any of these routines.
       - Correct a  design problem  to allow for very long latency in
         TCP/IP Services  between the transmit request and the actual
         completion,  if  there are any problems in TCP/IP delivering
         the data message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRACER:
       - Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:
       - Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for a
         connection if the previous connection failed to be deaccessed.
       - Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with disconnect
         data.  If the user string (P2) is not a counted string this will
         now be included on behalf of the user.  Phase IV did this previously,
         but removed the first byte of the user data while making it counted.
       - Allow the maximum transport connections to be extended as high
         as 65535 without exceeding the size of the TCTB table.
       - Allow a connection to be disconnected immediately for a dysfunctional
         link rather then waiting for the timeouts to complete.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:
       - Modify state tables such that  if the port is in a WFNC state and
         receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather then bugcheck.
       - Correct restraint mode window.
       - Correct default  packet  size  when  remote fails to set the size.
       - Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts  with zero credit.
       - Prevent OSITP premature port deallocation.
       - Prevent received  NSDU negative  byte count crash when OSITP made
         a request for a buffer with this invalid size.
       - Change  the  action routine  on a TPDU error in a WFNC (wait for
         network  confirm) state  to ACT$P_TPDUERR rather then bugcheck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$STARTUP.COM:
       - Remove any requirement for LOCAL on DECdns servers.
       - Prevent PGFIPLHI when Autogen does not complete and LIBOTS code
         is not properly mapped into memory.  If LIBOTS is not resident
         then have the network startup fail with NET$STARTUP_STATUS set
         to OFF-AUTOGENREQ.

Problems Corrected (DECdns ECO 72plus)

      o  Include cache rollover correction, poolcheck and read permanent
         decnet database to get local towerset.
      o  Add support for new trace code.
      o  Add support for EB and EI device types.
      o  Brann Cache Calculation modified to accomodate cache sizes in a
         large memory environment.
      o  Prevents NSAP's with a prefix of %x49 from  being  inserted  in
         the cache if the configured prefix is other than %x49.
         Also, there is a correction to preserve the STICKY bit  in  the
         cache, if it was previously set, when the address of an item in
         the cache is updated.
      o  Prevents the DNS$ADVER process from crashing when a  "SHOW  DNS
         CLERK  REMOTE  CLEARINGHOUSE  ..."  command  is  issued.   This
         problem sometimes appears as hang to the user  when  a  command
         similar to the one shown above is issued.
      o  Added the ability to define the following logical names in  the
         system logical name table:

                         DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT
                         DNS$ADVER_BUFFER_LIMIT
                         DNS$ADVER_EXTENT
                         DNS$ADVER_MAX_WORKING_SET
                         DNS$ADVER_PAGE_FILE

         These  logical  names  correspond  to  qualifiers  on  the  RUN
         statement which are described in the OpenVMS documentation.  If
         any of  these  logical  names  are  defined  at  the  time  the
         DNS$ADVER  process starts up, then the values defined for these
         logical names are used instead of the default quotas.

         Typically, these logical names are defined in the file:

                     SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM

         This is necessary because the logical names need to be  defined
         before the DNS$ADVER process starts up.

         One reason for using these logical  names  is  if  you  have  a
         system  is  configured with more than two ethernet controllers.
         Another reason is to define increased quota for  the  DNS$ADVER
         process  when  you  receive  a  message  on  the console during
         startup   that   the   DNS    cache    is    not    initialized
         (DNS$_NOCACHE,"Clerk cache not initialized").

         Selected default quotas for the  DNS$ADVER  process  have  also
         been  increased  for the ECO 72.  The selected quotas that have
         been increased include direct I/0, enqueue limit, queue  limit,
         buffer limit and maximum_working_set.

      o  Corrected the clerk treewalk algorithm to prevent the algorithm
         from  failing  to find the desired clearinghouse to satisfy the
         name lookup request.  Typically, the symptom  of  this  problem
         was  the  return  status  of  DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS  on a "SHOW
         CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able
         to connect the proper clearinghouse.

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE:

       - Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs 
         with QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone.  Double close associations 
         precipitated this modification.  Both QIO_EXECUTE and 
         QIO_COMPLETION were modified to add a new bit to check if 
         the association has already been closed and if the channel 
         can be deallocated.
       - Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV 
         behavior of stepping on the first byte of user data to 
         make it a counted string IF the user application did not 
         supply this necessary count.
       - Correct ExecuteDeaccess code latency when the connection was 
         not yet in the run state and it was aborted.  This will now 
         allow the abort to happen if 1) the channel type indicates 
         that there is some semblance of a connection and b) in all 
         states except for those that indicate that the connection is 
         already in the process of being torn d (i.e., ACinProg, 
         CAinProg or DCinProg).
       - Prevent NET device $ASSIGN before the driver has been initialized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$EVD_RELAY_FORMATTER:

       - Include for compatiblity with NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER:

       - Create new filters to block the following CSMA and FDDI events
         to correct the command RESET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM.
         The global filter will block the following events by default:
            ((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu)
            ((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer)
            ((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination)
         If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation
         time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying
         the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to
         pass one or more of these events.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE:

       - If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old
         NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific
         NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following
         duplicate block command:
         BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream
         GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client).
       - Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default,
         the following pass commands have been added:
         !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
         !   ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU)
         !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
         !   ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer)
         !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
         !   ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination)

         If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by
         copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use
         these commands or not, please update that site-specific
         NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script.

         an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard.
         Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close.
       - Prevent invalid NSAP on initial ES hello message by checking the
         area address and not the HIORD of the NSAP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_IS.EXE:

       - Prevent possible crash with X.25 PVCs.
       - X.25 circuit enable code was modified to prevent possible
         corruption if the X.25 channel was disconnected.
       - Raise the maximum allowed circuits from 20 to 40.
       - Modify the use of R9 to avoid corruption in LES (Alpha only).

       - Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is
         now obsolete.
       - Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry.
         A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with
         ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation.
       - Resolve SMP PGFIPLHI trying to access an EIB port that no
         longer existed.
       - Include proxy information for use by LOGINOUT with SYSGEN
         parameter, NET_CALLOUTS 255.
       - Alpha only use the name string from the PSB instead of GETJPI.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM:
       - Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical
         was defined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

       - Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for
         a connection if the previous connection failed to be 
         deaccessed.
       - Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with 
         disconnect data.  If the user string (P2) is not a counted 
         string this will now be included on behalf of the user.  
         Phase IV did this previously, but removed the first byte of 
         the user data while making it counted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:

       - Modify state tables such that if the port is in a WFNC state
         and receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather than 
         bugcheck.
       - Correct restraint mode window.
       - Correct default packet size when remote fails to set the size.
       - Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts with zero credit.
       - Prevent OSITP premature port deallocation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     1.3  Problems Corrected (DECdns ECO 72plus)
      o  Add support for EB and EI device types.
      o  Brann Cache Calculation modified to accomodate cache sizes in a
         large memory environment.
      o  Prevents NSAP's with a prefix of %x49 from  being  inserted  in
         the cache if the configured prefix is other than %x49.
         Also, there is a correction to preserve the STICKY bit  in  the
         cache, if it was previously set, when the address of an item in
         the cache is updated.
      o  Prevents the DNS$ADVER process from crashing when a  "SHOW  DNS
         CLERK  REMOTE  CLEARINGHOUSE  ..."  command  is  issued.   This
         problem sometimes appears as hang to the user  when  a  command
         similar to the one shown above is issued.
      o  Added the ability to define the following logical names in  the
         system logical name table:

                         DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT
                         DNS$ADVER_BUFFER_LIMIT
                         DNS$ADVER_EXTENT
                         DNS$ADVER_MAX_WORKING_SET
                         DNS$ADVER_PAGE_FILE

         These  logical  names  correspond  to  qualifiers  on  the  RUN
         statement which are described in the OpenVMS documentation.  If
         any of  these  logical  names  are  defined  at  the  time  the
         DNS$ADVER  process starts up, then the values defined for these
         logical names are used instead of the default quotas.

         Typically, these logical names are defined in the file:

                     SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM

         This is necessary because the logical names need to be  defined
         before the DNS$ADVER process starts up.

         One reason for using these logical  names  is  if  you  have  a
         system  is  configured with more than two ethernet controllers.
         Another reason is to define increased quota for  the  DNS$ADVER
         process  when  you  receive  a  message  on  the console during
         startup   that   the   DNS    cache    is    not    initialized
         (DNS$_NOCACHE,"Clerk cache not initialized").

         Selected default quotas for the  DNS$ADVER  process  have  also
         been  increased  for the ECO 72.  The selected quotas that have
         been increased include direct I/0, enqueue limit, queue  limit,
         buffer limit and maximum_working_set.

      o  Corrected the clerk treewalk algorithm to prevent the algorithm
         from  failing  to find the desired clearinghouse to satisfy the
         name lookup request.  Typically, the symptom  of  this  problem
         was  the  return  status  of  DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS  on a "SHOW
         CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able
         to connect the proper clearinghouse.

Problems Addressed in DNVOSIA_E01072:

 A.  Corrections for Base Components

  o  Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DECNET_MIGRATE.EXE:

       -  Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE.COM

  o  Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STARTUP.COM:

       -  Add DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT logical and increase clerk quotas.
          Translate each of the logicals from the system table if it exists,
          otherwise use the defaults. Increase default quota for direct I/O,
          file_limit, enqueue limit, queue limit, adver_buffer_limit, and
          adver_max_working_set.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STOP.COM

       -  Included file SYS$MANAGER:NET$DNS_CLERK_STOP.NCL
            -  No changes, include for compatibility.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER.EXE:

       -  No changes, include for compatibility.

       -  Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SERVICE.EXE

       -  Correct PGFIPLHI crash on startup. Insure that any linkages which
          may be touched at an elevated IPL are in a page which is locked.

       -  Prevent possible crash on boot in read cluster time.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:DTSS$SHR.EXE

  o  Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP.COM:

       -  Included for compatibility with NET$STARTUP.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT:

       -  Change DTSS British time zone rule from 4th Sunday in  October
          to 5th Sunday in October.  NET$CONFIGURE.COM must be run to
          update these rules. 

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE

       -  Correct ASSIGN/USER output to one file (VAX only).

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE

       -  Correct default entity and global parsing vector when the initial
          connect attempt failed.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCLSHR:

       -  Modify UIC format of an end user specification filter to
          return the %NCL-E-BADVALUE error when necessary.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$ACP.EXE:

       -  Include for compatitiblity with CDI$SHR.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ALIAS.EXE

       -  Correction for incoming selection weight on objects.

       -  Modify error handling on temporary files.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:NET$CONVERT_DATABASE.EXE:

       -  Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE:

       -  Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs with
          QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone.  Double close associations precipitated
          this modification.  Both QIO_EXECUTE and QIO_COMPLETION were
          modified to add a new bit to check if the association has already
          been closed and if the channel can be deallocated.

       -  Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV behavior
          of stepping on the first byte of user data to make it a counted
          string IF the user application did not supply this necessary count.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$EVD_RELAY_FORMATTER:

       -  Include for compatiblity with NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER:

       -  Create new filters to block the following CSMA and FDDI events
          to correct the command RESET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM.
          The global filter will block the following events by default:

             ((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu)
             ((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer)
             ((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination)

          If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation
          time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying
          the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to
          pass one or more of these events.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE:

       -  If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old
          NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific
          NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following
          duplicate block command:

               BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream

          GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client).

       -  Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default,
          the following pass commands have been added:

          !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
          !   ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU)
          !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
          !   ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer)
          !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
          !   ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination)

          If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by
          copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use
          these commands or not, please update that site-specific
          NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP:

        - Prevent KRNSTAKNV crash with DECthreads changes in V7.2-1.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$MOPS0.EXE:

        -  Include for compatibility with NET$MOP.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSDRIVER.EXE:

        -  Include for compatibility with NET$DRIVER.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE:

       -  Include for compatibility with SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE:

       -  Correct Phase V to Phase IV translation padding on transmit
          header.

       -  Prevent possible shutdown crash on disable when a WCB contained
          an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard.
          Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_IS.EXE:

       -  Prevent possible crash with X.25 PVCs.

       -  X.25 circuit enable code was modified to prevent possible
          corruption if the X.25 channel was disconnected.

       -  Raise the maximum allowed circuits from 20 to 40.

       -  Modify the use of R9 to avoid corruption in LES (Alpha only).

       -  Prevent Alias shutdown crash when the alias port was deallocated.

       -  Correct Alias forwarding logic.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$SDA.EXE:

       -  Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE:

       -  Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is
          now obsolete.

       -  Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry.
          A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with
          ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM:

       -  Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical
          was defined.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:

       -  Prevent possible system crash on a disconnect indication.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRACER:

       -  Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:

       -  Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for a
          connection if the previous connection failed to be deaccessed.

       -  Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with disconnect
          data.  If the user string (P2) is not a counted string this will 
          now be included on behalf of the user.  Phase IV did this previously,
          but removed the first byte of the user data while making it counted.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:

       -  Modify state tables such that if the port is in a WFNC state and
          receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather then bugcheck.

       -  Correct restraint mode window.

       -  Correct default packet size when remote fails to set the size.

       -  Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts with zero credit.

  o  Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$STARTUP.COM:

       -  Remove any requirement for LOCAL on DECdns servers.


 B.  DECdns Update ECO 72

  o  Update to SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES]SYS$NAME_SERVICES.EXE:

       -  Prevents NSAP's with a prefix of %x49 from being inserted in
          the cache if the configured prefix is other than %x49. 

          Also, there is a correction to preserve the STICKY bit in the
          cache, if it was previously set, when the address of an item in
          the cache is updated. 

       -  Prevents the DNS$ADVER process from crashing when a "SHOW DNS
          CLERK REMOTE CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command is issued.  This
          problem sometimes appears as hang to the user when a command
          similar to the one shown above is issued. 

       -  Added the ability to define the following logical names in the
          system logical name table: 

               DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT
               DNS$ADVER_BUFFER_LIMIT
               DNS$ADVER_EXTENT
               DNS$ADVER_MAX_WORKING_SET
               DNS$ADVER_PAGE_FILE

          These logical names correspond to qualifiers on the RUN
          statement which are described in the OpenVMS documentation.  If
          any of these logical names are defined at the time the DNS$ADVER
          process starts up, then the values defined for these logical
          names are used instead of the default quotas. 

          Typically, these logical names are defined in the file:

                SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM

          This is necessary because the logical names need to be defined
          before the DNS$ADVER process starts up. 

          One reason for using these logical names is if you have a
          system is configured with more than two ethernet controllers. 
          Another reason is to define increased quota for the DNS$ADVER
          process when you receive a message on the console during
          startup that the DNS cache is not initialized
          (DNS$_NOCACHE,"Clerk cache not initialized"). 

          Selected default quotas for the DNS$ADVER process have also
          been increased for the ECO 72.  The selected quotas that have
          been increased include direct I/0, enqueue limit, queue limit,
          buffer limit and maximum_working_set. 

       -  Corrected the clerk treewalk algorithm to prevent the algorithm
          from failing to find the desired clearinghouse to satisfy the
          name lookup request.  Typically, the symptom of this problem
          was the return status of DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS on a "SHOW
          CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able
          to connect the proper clearinghouse. 


 C.  New NCL Global Section

  o  Update made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCL$GLOBALSECTION.DAT:

       -  Updates for X.25 on OpenVMS Alpha have been included.


 D.  Updated NCL Help File

  o  Update made to SYS$HELP:NCLHELP.HLB


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility (PCSI)
by logging into the SYSTEM account, and entering the following command at
the DCL prompt: 

     $ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO01/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]

Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI if you wish.

For the corrections to take effect, you must reboot the system. If you
are a member of a VMScluster, you must reboot the entire cluster.  You
can postpone rebooting if it is not convenient for you to do so now;
however, the new driver(s) will not take effect until after a reboot.
