TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100 Alpha V7.2-1H1 CPU2308 ECO Summary
 
New Kit Date     :  09-MAR-2001
Modification Date:  Not Applicable
Modification Type:  New Kit

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 CPU Routines 2308 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1H1.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  After installation of the VMS721H1_FIBRE_SCSI-V0200  ECO  kit,
     GS80,  GS160  and  GS320  configurations  using  PKQDRIVER  to
     support the system disk will not boot on soft partitions other
     than  0.   When booting you will see error messages similar to
     the following:

     %PKQDRIVER-W- PKB0, pkq_alloc_queues: REQ/RSPQ Ring Buffer BAP
     Registration Failed

     %PKQDRIVER-W- PKB0, pkq_alloc_queues: Run AUTOGEN With Feedback
     To Set NPAG_BAP_* Params

     Note that this problem cannot be fixed by running AUTOGEN.  To
     fix this issue you must install this remedial kit.

         DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100--4.PCSI

         Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_2308.EXE
                           [SYS$LDR]SYS$SMHANDLER_SLAVE_2308.EXE


INSTALLATION NOTES:

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

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

PRODUCT INSTALL VMS721H1_CPU2308 /SOURCE=[location of Kit]

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

Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing
HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt
