OpenVMS ALPDUP01_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 FYDRIVER 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 FYDRIVER on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, 
V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  ALPHA systems  that  use  multiple  accesses  to  HSC/HSJ  disk
     controllers (such as using Polycenter System Census Agent) will
     see crashes intermittently.  The crashes showed  RSPID  (sysgen
     parameter SYSRESPCNT) to be exhausted.  Previous workaround was
     to increase  sysgen  parameter  and  customer  would  not  have
     anymore crashes.


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.
