SLS SLSE01B029 Storage Library System for OpenVMS V2.8A ECO Summary

TITLE: SLS SLSE01B029 Storage Library System for OpenVMS V2.8A 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 1998. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: Storage Library System for OpenVMS (SLS) Media and Device Management Services (MDMS) OP/SYS: OpenVMS VAX OpenVMS Alpha SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: SLSE01B029 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: SLSE01A028 NOTE: This kit does NOT replace SLSE02028. SLSE02028 may still be needed by customers running V2.8, and unable to upgrade to V2.8A. ECO Kit Approximate Size: 18153 Blocks Saveset A - 11144 Blocks Kit Applies To: SLS 2.8A OpenVMS VAX 5.5-2 through V6.2 OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V6.2 MDMS 2.8A OpenVMS VAX 5.5-2 through V7.1 OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.1 SLS/MDMS 2.9 /2.9A /2.9B OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V7.1 OpemVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.1 NOTE: This kit contains an update of the Remote Device Facility (RDF) software. This update (V4.1G) supersedes V4.1D which had been included with V2.8A, 2.9(A) and V2.9B of the SLS/MDMS software product. NOTE: This kit should be applied to systems where either SLS or MDMS have been installed. MDMS does not include the backup and restore functionality of SLS. MDMS can be installed separately to support these products: Archive/Backup System (ABS), Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), or Sequential Media File System (SMF). System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: VAX - No Alpha - Yes (See Installation Instructions) ECO KIT SUMMARY An ECO kit exists for SLS V2.8A through V2.9B on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V6.2 and on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V6.2. This kit is also for MDMS V2.8A through V2.9B on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V7.1 and on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.1 This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed in SLSE01B029: o When the RDF network compression options is in effect, SLS backups (which use the OpenVMS backup /LIST qualifier) fail with the following errors: BACKUP-E-INVRECTYP: Invalid record type in saveset BACKUP-E-INVRECSIZ: Invalid record size in saveset o When using /MEDIA=COMPACT on an OpenVMS backup or mount command, the RDF psedo device does not show that compaction is enabled for remote MK devices (TZ87, TZ88, etc.). This affects the following systems: OpenVMS V6.2 with ALPCLUSI001_062 or VAXCLUSI001_062 applied OpenVMS V7.0 or later (VAX and ALPHA) o RDclient ACCVIO when an OPCOM message larger than 256 bytes is received o The MNT and FOR bits of the physical device are toggles on each i/o between the client and server. This causes the TUDRIVER to not complete the mount verify of an RDEV device upon a recoverable hardware error.5. Intermittently (with low frequency) the RDF's RDserver(V4.1A) process fails with an access violation similar to the following on Alpha platforms: %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000008 PC=86209024, PS=0000001B %TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic sump follows Image Name Module Name Routine Name RDSERVER_A62 SRVRPARSE check_cfg_file RDSERVER_A62 RDSERVER rdserver_main RDSERVER_A62 RDSERVER _main Refer to the release notes for more information. Problems Addressed in SLSE01A028: o System crash of RDclient node resulting from use of the old V4.1 RDEV_AXP61.OLB inadvertently shipped with V2.8A. Refer to release notes for specific details. o System crash of RDclient node when RDF Compression is enabled. Refer to release notes for specific details. o RDclient access violation (ACCVIO). Refer to release notes for specific details. INSTALLATION NOTES: Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and entering the following command at the DCL prompt: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL SLSE01B029 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit save set. After installing this kit, it is necessary to restart SLS for all of the changes to take effect. NOTE: After installing this ECO and before using the RDF product, you must reboot the Alpha node(s) where RDF will be utilized. This restriction does not apply for VAX nodes. For a mixed-architecture configuration or other heterogeneous VMScluster configurations, the kit must be installed on each node having its own SLS$ROOT directory structure.
