TITLE: OpenVMS VAXMANA01_072 VAX V7.2 SMISERVER 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 SMISERVER on OpenVMS VAX V7.2. This kit addresses
the following problems:

  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

  o Shutting down a node that boots from an OpenVMS V7.1 or later
     shadowed system disk causes a shadow merge operation. This
     leads to performance slowdown.

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SMISERVER.EXE

INSTALLATION NOTES:

No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit.

Install this kit with the {Installation Utility} utility by logging
into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL
prompt:

SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL VAXMANA01_072 [location of the saveset]

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