OpenVMS VAXMANA03_062 VAX V6.2 SYSMAN ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS VAXMANA03_062 VAX V6.2 SYSMAN ECO Summary
New Kit Date : 14-FEB-2001
Modification Date: 15-FEB-2001
Modification Type: DOCUMENTATION: Editorial
Clarified problem description.
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 SYSMAN/SMISERVER on OpenVMS VAX V6.2. This
kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in VAXMANA03_062:
o The SYSMAN security profile is supposed to be identical on all
nodes in a cluster that uses the same security environment. In
some instances, however, SYSMAN uses the authorized privileges
from the UAF instead of the locally set privileges on some nodes.
Images Affected: [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE
Problems Addressed in VAXMANA02_062:
o A regression exists in the VAXMANA04_070 kit relative to the
VAXCLUSIO01_062 kit. The VAXMANA04_070 kit has images in common
with CLUSIO (i.e. SMI$OBJSHR.EXE, SMISERVER.EXE, and SYSMAN.EXE),
and the images in CLUSIO are newer than the ones in the VAXMANA
kit. The CLUSIO documentation says to install the VAXMANA04_070
kit first (actually the VAXMANA03_070 kit, but VAXMANA04_070
supersedes it). If the VAXMANA kit is installed first, there
is not a problem. However, if the CLUSIO kit is installed first,
a regression error message occurs.
This kit resolves the regression by using the latest versions of
the three images, SMI$OBJSHR.EXE, SMISERVER.EXE, and SYSMAN.EXE.
These three images were in common with CLUSIO. Note that no new
fixes are included in this kit for these three images.
o Make the SYSMAN security profile consistent clusterwide.
The SYSMAN security profile is supposed to be identical on all nodes
in a cluster that use the same security environment. However,
SYSMAN could use the authorize privileges from the UAF, instead of
the locally set privileges on some nodes.
For example, for a cluster named CLUSTER, node NODE1 should have
same privilege settings as another node in the cluster, NODE2.

Problems Addressed in the VAXMANA04_070 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.2:
o Incorrect problem statement noted in the VAXMANA03_070 kit (Correct
SYSMAN DISKQUOTA ENABLE|DISABLE command behavior.) This problem has
not been fixed. This kit, VAXMANA04_070 removes this problem
statement from the documentation. This kit does not contain any new
fixes.
Problems Addressed in the VAXMANA03_070 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.2:
o Kit is being issued to keep V6.2 common images at the same ECO level
as the VAXDOSD06_062 kit. There are no new fixes in this kit.
Problems Addressed in the VAXMANA01_070 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V6.2:
o SYSMAN DO commands that result in very long output records result in
errors similar to the following:
-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
-SYSTEM-F-MBTOOSML, mailbox is too small for request
There may be some SYSMAN truncation errors also.
o The SYSMAN PARAM SET command, when executed on a cluster, would
return with an extraneous NOMORENODE error message.
o With the SYSMAN DO command, certain DCL commands that do not have
output (e.g. SYSMAN> DO DEFINE XXX YYY) would take at least 10
seconds/node to complete.
Problems Addressed in the VAXMANA01_062 Kit:
o SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! character at the beginning of
its command line. All characters subsequent to the ! are ignored
and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt.
In OpenVMS V6.2, a regression in behavior occurred causing a !
character at the beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return the
following warning:
%CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic
first character

No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit.
