ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the MONITOR Utility on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through
V6.1. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in VAXMONT01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4,
V6.0, and V6.1:
o When the 'MONITOR DISK' command is issued on a system with DFS
devices mounted, only the first three characters of the DFS
disk name are displayed correctly. The last character is
often displayed as a non-printable character or as an escape
sequence. This may cause terminal lock-ups, resetting of
terminal characteristics or other unexpected terminal side effects.
o The 'MONITOR DISK' command may appear to hang when monitoring
a system with more than 800 disks. An error occurs, but the
error status is not displayed. The hang may also occur when a
MONITOR CLUSTER command is issued.
o Due to an inadequate synchronization mechanism, the 'MONITOR
DISK' command can go into an infinite loop on multi-processor
machines.
In order to receive the complete fix for this problem, one of
the following kits will also need to be installed:
o For OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2: VAXSYS12_U2055
o For OpenVMS VAX V6.0 and V6.1: The most current
Volume Shadowing kit
o Use of the 'MONITOR PROCESS' command in a local environment will
fail if the SYSGEN parameter MAXPROCESSCNT is set to allow more
than 1040 processes. When Virtual Balance Slots were added in
OpenVMS V6.0, this number dropped to 978.
Problems Addressed in VAXMONT01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 and V5.5-2H4:
o In a mixed version OpenVMScluster, the following MONITOR
command will crash the target V6.0 node if it is issued
from a V5.5-2 node:
$MONITOR STATES,POOL,DECNET,LOCK /NODE=V6.0_node
Problems Addressed in VAXMONT03_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:
o The image to correct the MAXPROCESSCNT problem should have
been included in the VAXMON02_U2055 kit. It was not.
Problems Addressed in VAXMON02_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:
o An error occurs when using the following MONITOR command:
$ MONITOR [CLASS] /NODE={nodelist}
The error indicates that the connection to a remote node
has been lost and the collection activity terminates for
that node.
o The MONITOR process class will not function if the SYSGEN
parameter MAXPROCESSCNT is larger than 1040. The following
errors will be returned:
%MONITOR-E-COLLERR, error during data collection
-SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value
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 VAXcluster, the
entire cluster must be rebooted.
