TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0200 Alpha V7.2-1H1 CLIUTL ECO Summary

New Kit Date: 21-DEC-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 CLIUTL on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1H1. This kit addresses
the following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0200 KIT:

  o When a process exists on the system that is in the MUTEX or
     CEF state, a SHOW SYSTEM command will ACCVIO when the /STATE
     qualifier is used. For example:

     QUEBIT> SHOW SYS/STATE=MUTEX
     %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
     address=FFFFFFFFC0022A58, PC=0000000000042BE0, PS=0000001B

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE

  o The system can crash with an SSRVEXCEPT bugcheck in SHOW+61DA0
     or SHOW+62050. with an ACCVIO executing instruction LDL
     R18,#X0014(R0) and R0=007812f2 %SHOW-E-INSVIRMEM

     This problem has been seen when running the Apache WEB server.

     Crashdump Summary Information:
     ------------------------------
     Bugcheck Type: SSRVEXCEPT, Unexpected system service
                        exception
     Current Process: APACHE$WWW_19
     Current Image: DSA100:[SYS1.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE
     Failing PC: 00000000.00051DA0 SHOW+61DA0
     Failing PS: 00000000.00000003
     Module: SHOW
     Offset: 00061DA0

     Crashdump Summary Information:
     ------------------------------
     Bugcheck Type: SSRVEXCEPT, Unexpected system service
                        exception
     Current Process: APACHE$WWW_20
     Current Image: DSA1:[SYS2.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE
     Failing PC: 00000000.00052050 SHOW+62050
     Failing PS: 00000000.00000003
     Module: SHOW
     Offset: 00062050

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE

  o On volumes where the INDEXF.SYS file size exceeds the MAXFILES
     value for the volume, a volume rebuild operation will ACCVIO.
     VERIFY shows no problems but the commands to rebuild the
     volume will consistently fail.

     Note: To receive this complete change you must also install
           the VMS721H1_MOUNT-V0200 ECO kit.

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SET.EXE

  o When a SHOW QUEUE command is entered, a queue entry number
     that is over 10 million shows as asterisks rather than the
     queue entry number.

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]QUEMAN.EXE
                            [SYSMSG]CLIUTLMSG.EXE

  o A SET VOLUME/REBUILD command on a volume set, where a node
     that had it mounted did not update the volume write count on
     dismount (or a crash), does not reset the volume write count
     to the correct number of writers in the cluster. A SHOW
     DEVICE/REBUILD command always shows this volume as needing a
     rebuild. Even a SET VOLUME/REBUILD=FORCE will not clear this
     rebuild status.

     Note: To receive this complete change you must also install
           the VMS721H1_MOUNT96-V0200 ECO kit.

          Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE

  o In a SET FILE/LOG/VERSION command, the /LOG qualifier is
     ignored. For example:

          SYSTEM1>SET FILE/LOG/VER LOGIN.COM;
          SYSTEM1>

     The correct behavior is:

          SYSTEM1>SET FILE/LOG/VER LOGIN.COM;
          %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK:[USER1]LOGIN.COM;2 modified
          SYSTEM1>

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SET.EXE

  o An invalid "error opening file" message could be displayed.

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SET.EXE

  o The output of a CREATE/DIRECTORY/LOG command prints the
     resulting directory name in uppercase, regardless of the
     actual on-disk case. The actual directory is created
     correctly, but the informational message does not reflect the
     actual case of the directory.

          For example:

             $ SET DEFAULT DISK:[TEST]
             $ SET PROCESS/PARSE=EXTENDED
             $ CREATE/DIRECTORY/LOG [TEST.MixedCaseDir]
             %CREATE-I-CREATED, DISK:[TEST.MIXEDCASEDIR] created
             $ dir Mixed*.dir

             Directory DISK:[test]

             MixedCaseDir.DIR;1

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]CREATE.EXE

  o When DCL SHOW LOGICAL command is issued, a MTXCNTNONZ bugcheck
     could occur during logical name translation.

     Crashdump Summary Information:
     ------------------------------
     Bugcheck Type: MTXCNTNONZ, Mutex count nonzero
                        at system service exit
     Current Process: APACHE$WWW_7
     Current Image: DSA30:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE
     Failing PC: FFFFFFFF.80080FD4
                        __RELEASE_SERVICE_ERROR_EXCEPT+00094
     Failing PS: 38000000.00000000
     Module: EXCEPTION
                        (Link Date/Time: 26-APR-2001 12:37:41.13)
     Offset: 00018FD4

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE

  o When doing SHOW PROCESS/ID=xxxx, if the process resides on a
     VAX cluster member, the following error is displayed:

          %SYSTEM-F-INCOMPAT, feature incompatible
          with previous system version

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE

  o When using SHOW CLUSTER/OUTPUT and SHOW CLUSTER/CONTINUOUS'
     commands with a WRITE command, the output is truncated after
     the first page, even though additional nodes should be
     displayed on a second page. This problem occurs if there are
     a large number of nodes (OpenVMS and/or HSx nodes) and the
     display is less than 132 characters wide.

          Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHWCLSTR.EXE

INSTALLATION NOTES:

No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit.

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_CLIUTL /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

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

Special Installation Instructions:

  o Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions

     During installation, this kit will ask and require user
     response to several questions. If you wish to automate the
     installation of this kit and avoid having to provide responses
     to these questions, you must create a DCL command procedure
     that includes the following definitions and commands:

       - $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE

       - Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL
          command and add that command to the DCL procedure.

             /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V2.0

       - De-assign the logicals assigned

     For example, a sample command file to install the
     VMS721H1_CLIUTL-V0200 kit would be:

          $
          $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
          $!
          $ PROD INSTALL VMS721H1_CLIUTL/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V2.0
          $!
          $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
          $!
          $ exit
