ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for SYS$DKDRIVER.EXE on OpenVMS AXP V6.1 - V6.1-1H1. 
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  Based on the SCSI2/SCSI3 specification, several non-Digital disk
     vendors support the extended SENSE data.  When their disks are
     used with OpenVMS, customers cannot boot from or use those disks
     because the data buffers in the class driver can not handle the
     extra data.  This fix makes the buffers within DKDRIVER, used to
     contain SENSE data, large enough to support the amount of
     information returned under the SCSI2/SCSI3 specification. 


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.
