TITLE: OpenVMS VAXSYSL02_2H455 VAX V5.5-2H4 SYSLOA/Error Formatter ECO Summary
 
Modification Date:  29-JUL-98
Modification Type:  New Kit

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 SYSLOA and the Error Formatter on OpenVMS VAX
V5.5-2H4.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems addressed in VAXSYSL02_2H455:

  o  The VAXSYSL18_U2055 multi-version kit is being re-issued as
     separate kits.  If you have installed the VAXSYSL18_U2055
     remedial kit you do not need to install this kit.


Problems addressed in VAXSYSL18_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2H4:

  o  Previous SYSLOA kits have been combined into one kit.  All
     the problem solutions that were in the kits superseded by
     VAXSYSL18_U2055 are included in VAXSYSL18_U2055 and apply 
     to versions 5.5-2 and 5.5-2H4 of OpenVMS VAX.

     NOTE:  The following SYSLOA*.EXEs are included in this                   
            ECO kit and are used with the CPU types shown:

INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.  If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must 
also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).  

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at 
this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
