HP Services Software Patches - vaxsysb02_062
 
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 SYSTEM Components on OpenVMS VAX V6.2.
This kit addresses the following problems: 


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYSB02_062 KIT:

  o  After installing the  VAXSYSB01_062  remedial  kit  the  system
     version  was changed to X6ZF-D4N and the system time was wrong.
     This was due to the SYS.EXE image.  This image is not needed in
     the  kit and is being removed, along with other SYS images that
     have no ECO corrections against them.


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYSB01_062 KIT:

  o  The AUDIT server runs into an access violation in  kernel  mode    
     when it encounters an unknown security class.                      
                                                                    
  o  A process may hang if the process is being deleted  while  VIOC    
     is waiting for a CFCB lock.  This process will not be deletable    
     since  an  original  I/O,  that   will   never   complete,   is    
     outstanding.                                                       
                                                                    
  o  Customer code locks the ACL, reads their ACE, updates  a  count    
     field,  re-writes  the  ACE, and unlocks the ACL.  However, the    
     updates to the count get lost.                                     


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYS12_062 KIT

  o  A SSRVEXCEPT crash occurred early in  the  boot  process.   The     
     Signal  Array  had  an  ACCVIO  with  the  message  code in the     
     offending PC  =  EXE$WRTMAILBOX+00C1C  and  in  the  operand  =     
     EXE$DELMBX+006E4.


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYS09_062 KIT

  o  System crashes with one of the following footprints:

         INCONSTATE SYS$VCC_NPRO+00009F04
         INCONSTATE SYS$VCC_NPRO+00009F00
         INCONSTATE VAXCLUSTER_CACHE+03EB18  


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYS07_062 KIT

  o  Security auditing of AME applications crash the system  with  a     
     bugcheck error of "SECAUDERR, Fatal error attempting to perform     
     a security audit"                                                   


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYS03_062 KIT

  o  Pool corruption when wait form services are  used  with  common
     event flags.


PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYS02_062 KIT

  o  If the buffer overflows during a license check, the  user  will     
     not  be able to make further use of the particular product that     
     was doing the license check until  the  process  that  got  the     
     buffer overflow error is stopped.  If that product was OpenVMS,     
     any process attempting to login would hang.                         
          


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 images.  

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at
