TITLE: OpenVMS VAXMANA04_071 VAX V7.1 AUTOGEN ECO Summary

New Kit Date : 12-MAR-2001
Modification Date: Not Applicable
Modification Type: Updated Kit Supersedes VAXMANA03_071
 
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 AUTOGEN on OpenVMS VAX V7.1. This kit addresses
the following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA04_071 KIT:

  o The previous kit VAXMANA03_071 was misssing 1 image,
     AGEN$FEEDBACK.EXE, that was shipped with the VAXMANA02_071 ECO
     kit.

     Images Affected: AGEN$FEEDBACK.EXE

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMANA03_071 KIT:

  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 the VAXMANA02_071 Kit:

  o 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 the same privilege settings as another node in the
     cluster, NODE2.

        
       SYSMAN> set env/clus

          %SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment:
                  Clusterwide on local cluster
                Username SYSTEM (*** will be used on non-local nodes)

                SYSMAN> show profile
          SYSMAN-I-DEFDIR, default directory on node NODE2 --
          SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
          %SYSMAN-I-DEFPRIV, process privileges on node NODE2 --
                  TMPMBX
                  OPER
                  NETMBX
          %SYSMAN-I-DEFDIR, default directory on node NODE1 --
          SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
          %SYSMAN-I-DEFPRIV, process privileges on node NODE1 --
             CMKRNL CMEXEC CMEXEC SYSNAM
             GRPNAM ALLSPOOL IMPERSONATE DIAGNOSE
             LOG_IO GROUP ACNT PRMCEB
             PRMMBX PSWAPM ALTPRI SETPRV
             TMPMBX WORLD MOUNT OPER
             EXQUOTA NETMBX VOLPRO PHY_IO
             BUGCHK PRMGBL SYSGBL PFNMAP
             SHMEM SYSPRV BYPASS SYSLCK
             SHARE UPGRADE DOWNGRADE GRPPRV
             READALL IMPORT AUDIT SECURITY

          Images(s) Affected: [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE

Problems Addressed in the VAXMANA01_071 Kit:

  o A 6000-class VAX machine that booted off a DSSI disk kept
     getting into the DOSD code. The system then concluded that
     the configuration could not support DOSD and terminated at
     TESTFILES.

     Member disks of a shadowed boot disk were tested for DOSD
     support, before the configuration was tested for support
     eligibility. The problem appeared to be complicated more
     because DUMPFILE_DEVICE was defined to the string
     "SYS$SYSDEVICE:".

INSTALLATION NOTES:

No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit.
