TITLE: OpenVMS VAXMTAA01_071 MTAAACP for OpenVMS VAX V7.1 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 MTAAACP on OpenVMS VAX 7.1. This kit addresses
the following problems:
Problems Addressed in VAXMTAA01_071:
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 get eliminate all known
instances of this problem, the following remedial kits (or
their supersedants) will also need to be installed:
VAXSYSA02_071
VAXBACK03_071
VAXDISM01_071
VAXINIT01_071
VAXMOUN04_071
o A process using MME could potentially "miss" the VOL1 label on
a tape. Also, a process could "hang" trying to send a message
to the MME process.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster
members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each
system in order to make use of the new image(s).
