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 the Monitor subsystem on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through
V6.2-1H3.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  Trying to monitor a pre-V7.2 system from a V7.2 system or
     vice-versa will result in the following error:

       $ monitor/node=quebit dis

            MONITOR-I-ESTABCON, establishing connection to remote
            node(s)...
            %MONITOR-E-ERRSYSINFO, failed to collect system information on
            node QUEBIT
            -MONITOR-E-SRVMISMATCH, MONITOR server on remote node is an
            incompatible version %MO

     In order to fix the above problem, clusters that have system(s) 
     running V6.2 and system(s) running V7.2 must have this kit installed 
     on all V6.2 nodes in the cluster.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster
members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each 
system in order to make use of the new image(s).
