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 DISMOUNT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  A possible system crash occurs during Host Based  RAID  Unbinds
     with  MME code enabled.  A mailbox read synchronization problem
     causes the crash.

     This problem only occurs when a host-based RAID UNBIND  command
     is done while an MME-based application is running.

     This problem may occur in several different code areas  of  the
     operating system.  In order to eliminate all known instances of
     this problem, the following remedial kits (or their supersedants) 
     will also need to be installed:
             
     ALPSYSA02_071  ALPBACK03_071  ALPINIT01_071   ALPMOUN05_071
     ALPMTAA01_071


INSTALLATION NOTES:

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