OpenVMS ALPDWXT01_070 DECW$XTDRIVER Alpha 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 OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.0.  This kit
addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the ALPDWXT01_070 Kit:

  o  EV4 and later CPU modules in a multiple CPU environment, will cause
     VXT2000 window users (using the LAT transport protocol) to lose all
     DECterm's, clocks, calendars, Bookreader, etc.  Only Session Manager
     remains. 


Problems Addressed in the AXPDWXT01_061 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, 
V6.1-1H1:

  o  When a LAT connection is lost because of a network interruption,
     XTDRIVER posts the same IRP twice to I/O postprocessing, corrupting
     the I/O postprocessing queue and possibly resulting in a SSRVEXCEPTN
     crash. 


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.
