OpenVMS ALPINIT01_070 Alpha V6.1 - V7.0 INIT$SHR 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 INIT$SHR on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.0.
This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems addressed in ALPINIT01_070:

          When calling the $INIT_VOL system service multiple times  from
          the  same  program, the INIT$SHR.EXE image is not de-activated
          between calls.  This results in all the disks after the  first
          call being corrupted.


Problems addressed in AXPINIT01_061:

  o  An INIT of a brand new tape can go into an infinite loop.
     This also causes the IO count to steadily increase on some
     tape drives.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

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