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 SYSMAN and STARTUP on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through
V7.0. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in ALPMANA02_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2,
V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, and V6.2-1H3:
o A crash in STARTUP.COM may occur on standalone OpenVMS Alpha
V6.2 nodes during the IOGEN section of the SYSMAN startup or
during STARTNET.COM. One of the symptoms of this crash is
corruption in the System Page Table Entry (SPTE) free list.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.
Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2,
V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3 and V7.0:
o SYSMAN 'DO' commands that result in very long output records
result in errors similar to the following:
-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
-SYSTEM-F-MBTOOSML, mailbox is too small for request
There may be some SYSMAN truncation errors also.
o The SYSMAN 'PARAM SET' command, when executed on a cluster,
would return with an extraneous NOMORENODE error message.
o With the SYSMAN 'DO' command, certain DCL commands that do not
have output (e.g., SYSMAN> DO DEFINE XXX YYY) would take at
least 10 seconds/node to complete.
Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:
o SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! at the beginning of its
command line. All characters subsequent to the ! are ignored
and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt. A
regression in behavior occurred causing a ! character at the
beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return:
%CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic first
character
Problems addressed in the ALPMANA01_062 kit:
o SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! character at the beginning
of its command line. All characters subsequent to the ! are
ignored and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt.
In OpenVMS V6.2, a regression in behavior occurred causing a !
character at the beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return
the following warning:
%CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic
first character
o OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 systems can crash due to corrupt system
page table entries (SPTE).
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0
Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_061:
o For nodes running DECNET Phase V, SYSMAN may return the
following errors:
%SYSMAN-I-NODERR, error returned from node
LIB-F-INSEF, insufficient event flags
when repeatedly issuing a DO command, exiting and then
re-entering SYSMAN to issue another DO command. Mailboxes
were not being deassigned at the end of the SYSMAN session.
This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
o SMISERVER experiences intermittent hangs, particularly when
SYSMAN DO commands are issued from within a batch job.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.
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.
