OPENVMS VAXBOOT01_071 SYSBOOT ECO Summary

TITLE: OPENVMS VAXBOOT01_071 SYSBOOT ECO Summary
 
Modification Date:  26-MAY-2000
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 OpenVMS VAX V7.1. This kit addresses the following 
problems: 

     o  A VAX 7000 with at least 3.5 gigabytes physical memory may
        halt during SYSBOOT shortly after displaying the OpenVMS
        banner (with version number).  The machine boots successfully
        if any of the following changes are made:

         1.  dropping the memory size to 3 gigabytes or less.
 
         2.  changing to a different CPU type.





INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.  If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must 
also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).  

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.
