OpenVMS ALPDISM02_062 Alpha V6.2 DISMOUNT ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPDISM02_062 Alpha V6.2 DISMOUNT 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 INFORMATION:

     NOTE:  If you are planning to install the COBOLRTL024 kit as
            well as this ECO on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, the COBOLRTL024 
            should be installed first.  Both kits include the image 
            SYSMSG.EXE and installing the COBOLRTL024 kit first will 
            eliminate any possible image conflicts.

            If ALPDISM02_062 is installed first, 

               o  Rename SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]SYSMSG.EXE to 
                  SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]SYSMSG.EXE_HOLD
              
               o  Install COBOLRTL024

               o  Rename SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]SYSMSG.EXE_HOLD
                  to SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]SYSMSG.EXE

         ALPCLUSIO01_062


        In order to receive all the corrections listed in this
        kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed:
 
          ALPSYSA02_062  ALPBACK02_062   ALPINIT01_062 
          ALPMOUN04_062  ALPMTAA02_062


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DISMOUNT on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problem addressed in ALPDISM02_062

  o  A possible system crash occurs during Host Based  RAID  Unbinds
     with  MME code enabled.  A mailbox read synchronization problem
     causes the crash.

     This problem only occurs when a host-based RAID UNBIND  command
     is done while an MME-based application is running.

     This problem may occur in several different code areas  of  the
     operating  system.  In order to eliminate all instances of this
     problem, the following remedial kits  (or  their  supersedants)
     will also need to be installed:

       o  ALPSYSA02_062
       o  ALPBACK02_062
       o  ALPINIT01_062
       o  ALPMOUN04_062
       o  ALPMTAA02_062

Problem addressed in ALPDISM01_062

  o  A SSRVEXCEPT failure occurs in DISMNTSHR when an attempt is
     made to DISMOUNT a tape that is in use by the Remote Tape
     Facility (RTF) that is shipped with the Storage Library System 
     for OpenVMS (SLS).  


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS VMScluster, they 
should be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in 
order to make use of the new image(s).
