TITLE: DECnet/OSI DNVOSIA_E02072 DECnet-Plus V7.2-1 For OpenVMS Alpha ECO Summary
Modification Date: 29-JUN-2000
Modification Type: Updated Kit: Supersedes DNVOSIA_E01072
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.

Problems Addressed in DNVOSIA_E02072:
A. Corrections for Base Components
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DECNET_MIGRATE.EXE:
- Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE.COM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STARTUP.COM:
- Add DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT logical and increase clerk quotas.
Translate each of the logicals from the system table if it
exists, otherwise use the defaults. Increase default quota
for direct I/O, file_limit, enqueue limit, queue limit,
adver_buffer_limit, and adver_max_working_set.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STOP.COM
Included file SYS$MANAGER:NET$DNS_CLERK_STOP.NCL
- No changes, include for compatibility.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER.EXE:
- No changes, include for compatibility.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SET_TIMEZONE.EXE
- Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SERVICE.EXE
- Correct PGFIPLHI crash on startup. Insure that any linkages
which may be touched at an elevated IPL are in a page which
is locked.
- Prevent possible crash on boot in read cluster time.
- Resolve error for NCLSHR when using NET$CONFGIURE Option 5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:DTSS$SHR.EXE
- Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP.COM:
- Included for compatibility with NET$STARTUP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT:
- Change DTSS British time zone rule from 4th Sunday in
October to 5th Sunday in October.
NET$CONFIGURE.COM must be run to update these rules.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE
- Correct ASSIGN/USER output to one file (VAX only).
- Correct default entity and global parsing vector when the
initial connect attempt failed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCLSHR:
- Modify UIC format of an end user specification filter to
return the %NCL-E-BADVALUE error when necessary.
- Suppress "getlist" error on NCL SHOW displays
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$ACP.EXE:
- Include for compatitiblity with CDI$SHR.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ALIAS.EXE
- Correction for incoming selection weight on objects.
- Modify the object lock conversion for alias enable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$CCR.EXE:
- Include for compatibility with NET$MOP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM:
- Modify error handling on temporary files.
- Prevent %RMS-W-RTB, byte record too large for user's buffer.
- Correct password generation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:NET$CONVERT_DATABASE.EXE:
- Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE:
- Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs
with QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone. Double close associations
precipitated this modification. Both QIO_EXECUTE and
QIO_COMPLETION were modified to add a new bit to check if
the association has already been closed and if the channel
can be deallocated.
- Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV
behavior of stepping on the first byte of user data to
make it a counted string IF the user application did not
supply this necessary count.
- Correct ExecuteDeaccess code latency when the connection was
not yet in the run state and it was aborted. This will now
allow the abort to happen if 1) the channel type indicates
that there is some semblance of a connection and b) in all
states except for those that indicate that the connection is
already in the process of being torn d (i.e., ACinProg,
CAinProg or DCinProg).
- Prevent NET device $ASSIGN before the driver has been initialized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$EVD_RELAY_FORMATTER:
- Include for compatiblity with NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER:
- Create new filters to block the following CSMA and FDDI events
to correct the command RESET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM.
The global filter will block the following events by default:
((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu)
((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer)
((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination)
If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation
time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying
the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to
pass one or more of these events.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE:
- If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old
NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific
NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following
duplicate block command:
BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream
GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client).
- Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default,
the following pass commands have been added:
!PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU)
!PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer)
!PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
! ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination)
If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by
copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use
these commands or not, please update that site-specific
NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP:
- Prevent KRNSTAKNV crash with DECthreads changes in V7.2-1.
- Rewrite MOP CCR RunConsole and improve performance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$MOPS0.EXE:
- Include for compatibility with NET$MOP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$NISCS_LAA.EXE:
- Alpha only - Permit loads from devices using SCSI PACs
(Port Allocation Classes).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSDRIVER.EXE:
- Include for compatibility with NET$DRIVER.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE:
- Include for compatibility with SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES
- Prevent possible system crash with a negative or zero
entity count in the IVK.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE:
- Correct Phase V to Phase IV translation padding on transmit
header.
- Prevent possible shutdown crash on disable when a WCB contained
an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard.
Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close.
- Prevent invalid NSAP on initial ES hello message by checking the
area address and not the HIORD of the NSAP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_IS.EXE:
- Prevent possible crash with X.25 PVCs.
- X.25 circuit enable code was modified to prevent possible
corruption if the X.25 channel was disconnected.
- Raise the maximum allowed circuits from 20 to 40.
- Modify the use of R9 to avoid corruption in LES (Alpha only).
- Prevent Alias shutdown crash when the alias port was deallocated.
- Correct Alias forwarding logic.
- Remove possible alias_IDdisable forced bugcheck.
- Prevent possible system crash in net$fwd_pkt_GetBuffer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$SDA.EXE:
- Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes.
- Add updates for TPCONS, X25 Relay, and XOT.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE:
- Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is
now obsolete.
- Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry.
A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with
ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation.
- Resolve SMP PGFIPLHI trying to access an EIB port that no
longer existed.
- Include proxy information for use by LOGINOUT with SYSGEN
parameter, NET_CALLOUTS 255.
- Alpha only use the name string from the PSB instead of GETJPI.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM:
- Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical
was defined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
- Prevent possible system crash on a disconnect indication.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRACER:
- Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:
- Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for
a connection if the previous connection failed to be
deaccessed.
- Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with
disconnect data. If the user string (P2) is not a counted
string this will now be included on behalf of the user.
Phase IV did this previously, but removed the first byte of
the user data while making it counted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:
- Modify state tables such that if the port is in a WFNC state
and receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather than
bugcheck.
- Correct restraint mode window.
- Correct default packet size when remote fails to set the size.
- Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts with zero credit.
- Prevent OSITP premature port deallocation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$STARTUP.COM:
- Remove any requirement for LOCAL on DECdns servers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE:
Image Identification: "V7.2-1ECO02" 12-JUN-2000 18:35:19.57
- Update VCIBDEF.SDL to register new VCI ID for XOT.
- Update ECO number in DECnet version "050D03".
- Bump up maximum file size of NET$CONFIG.DAT file from 100
to 125.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. DECdns Update ECO 72
o SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]DNS$ADVER.EXE 14-JUN-2000 00:25:10.56
o SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]DNS$ANALYZE.EXE 14-JUN-2000 00:25:12.72
o SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]DNS$CONFIGURE.EXE 14-JUN-2000 00:27:17.20
o SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]DNS$CONTROL.EXE 14-JUN-2000 00:26:59.91
o SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]DNS$MSG.EXE 14-JUN-2000 00:24:36.84
o SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DNS$RTL.EXE 14-JUN-2000 00:24:57.89
o SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LDR]SYS$NAME_SERVICES.EXE
14-JUN-2000 00:25:22.66
1.3 Problems Corrected (DECdns ECO 72plus)
o Add support for EB and EI device types.
o Brann Cache Calculation modified to accomodate cache sizes in a
large memory environment.
o Prevents NSAP's with a prefix of %x49 from being inserted in
the cache if the configured prefix is other than %x49.
Also, there is a correction to preserve the STICKY bit in the
cache, if it was previously set, when the address of an item in
the cache is updated.
o Prevents the DNS$ADVER process from crashing when a "SHOW DNS
CLERK REMOTE CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command is issued. This
problem sometimes appears as hang to the user when a command
similar to the one shown above is issued.
o Added the ability to define the following logical names in the
system logical name table:
DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT
DNS$ADVER_BUFFER_LIMIT
DNS$ADVER_EXTENT
DNS$ADVER_MAX_WORKING_SET
DNS$ADVER_PAGE_FILE
These logical names correspond to qualifiers on the RUN
statement which are described in the OpenVMS documentation. If
any of these logical names are defined at the time the
DNS$ADVER process starts up, then the values defined for these
logical names are used instead of the default quotas.
Typically, these logical names are defined in the file:
SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM
This is necessary because the logical names need to be defined
before the DNS$ADVER process starts up.
One reason for using these logical names is if you have a
system is configured with more than two ethernet controllers.
Another reason is to define increased quota for the DNS$ADVER
process when you receive a message on the console during
startup that the DNS cache is not initialized
(DNS$_NOCACHE,"Clerk cache not initialized").
Selected default quotas for the DNS$ADVER process have also
been increased for the ECO 72. The selected quotas that have
been increased include direct I/0, enqueue limit, queue limit,
buffer limit and maximum_working_set.
o Corrected the clerk treewalk algorithm to prevent the algorithm
from failing to find the desired clearinghouse to satisfy the
name lookup request. Typically, the symptom of this problem
was the return status of DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS on a "SHOW
CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able
to connect the proper clearinghouse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
