OpenVMS VMS721H1_DRIVER-V0100 Alpha V7.2-1H1 Drivers ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721H1_DRIVER-V0100 Alpha V7.2-1H1 Drivers ECO Summary
New Kit Date : 12-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 drivers on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1H1. This kit
addresses the following problems:
o When a user attempts to create a directory on an IDE disk
device larger than 30 GB, the system crashes with a UNXSIGNAL
bugcheck at OTS$REM_UL_C+000B4 (a divide-by-0 crash).
Crashdump Summary Information:
------------------------------
Bugcheck Type: UNXSIGNAL, Unexpected signal name in ACP
Current Process: face - 407
Current Image: $14$DKB0:[SYS4.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]CREATE.EXE
Failing PC: FFFFFFFF.80007268 OTS$REM_UL_C+000B8
Failing PS: 10000000.00000000
Module: SYS$BASE_IMAGE (Link Date/Time:
29-DEC-1999 03:52:51.75)
Offset: 00005268
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$DQDRIVER.EXE
o The system cannot play audio CDs.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$DQDRIVER.EXE
o A second instance of a GALAXY can not be booted. Also
observed are repeated Bus Addressable Pool (BAP) errors with
subsequent AUTOGEN runs.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$DQDRIVER.EXE
o Not all DRcu:: disks are seen by all cluster members.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$DRDRIVER.EXE
o DRDRIVER deletes the UCB for unit 0 if there are no disks
configured on the adapter. This unit is being served to the
cluster before the keep/delete decision is made. When another
cluster node inquired about DR?0 via MSCP, the invalid UCB is
referenced resulting in a crash.
Crashdump Summary Information:
------------------------------
Bugcheck Type: INVEXCEPTN, Exception while above ASTDEL
Current Process: NULL
Current Image:
Failing PC: FFFFFFFF.8022C8AC
SCS$MSCP_CHECK_SERVICE_C+0085C
Failing PS: 10000000.00000804
Module: MSCP
Offset: 000028AC
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$DRDRIVER.EXE
o BACKUP between a V7.2-1 client and a V7.1 TMSCP served tape
fails with POSITERR and IVDENS errors.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$DUDRIVER.EXE
[SYS$LDR]SYS$TUDRIVER.EXE
o A MOUNT/FOR/NOASSIST/DENSITY=6250 command can be is issued for
devices such as TA90 and TZ88. These commands make no sense
for these devices but customers have command files, that issue
this command, without regard to the type of drive. When such
a command file runs, the process or tape device will hang.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$TUDRIVER.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_DRIVER /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
