OpenVMS VAXSYS01_072 VAX V7.2 ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VAXSYS01_072 VAX V7.2 ECO Summary
 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for OpenVMS VAX V7.2.  This kit addresses the following
problems: 

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYS01_072 KIT

  o  Redefining logical name tables may lead to a system crash

     Redefining a logical name table, such as LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX, 
     to a process-private logical name table may lead to a system 
     crash if the process also creates a mailbox with a logical name.  
     The crash would typically occur when the CLUSTER_SEVER process 
     was the current process.

     Image Affected:

       -  [SYS$LDR]LOGICAL_NAMES.EXE


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM 
account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt:

     @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL VAXSYS01_072 [location of the saveset]

The saveset location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that
contains the kit saveset.

This kit requires a system reboot.  Compaq strongly recommends that a
reboot is performed immediately after kit installation to avoid system 
instability.

If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, 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.
