TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0300 Alpha V7.2-1H1 SYSLOA ECO Summary

New Kit Date: 18-FEB-2002
Modification Date: Not Applicable
Modification Type: Updated Kit Supersedes VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0200
 
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 SYSLOA on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1H1.
This kit addresses the following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0300 KIT:

  o The SYS$CLUSTER.EXE image in the VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0200 ECO kit
     will not install because of a generation conflict. The
     correct image is in the kit but a typographical error in the
     installation file causes the conflict.

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0200 KIT:

  o A system can crash with a LOCKMGRERR bugcheck at
     LCK$SND_CVTREQ_C+00EE8.

     Crashdump Summary Information:
     ------------------------------
     Bugcheck Type: LOCKMGRERR, Error detected by Lock Manager
     Current Process: _OVRNITE3921
     Current Image: <not available>
     Failing PC: FFFFFFFF.8022DB48 LCK$SND_CVTREQ_C+00EE8
     Failing PS: 38000000.00000804
     Module: SYS$CLUSTER (Link Date/Time:
                        29-DEC-1999 04:13:30.44)
     Offset: 0001FB48

          Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$CLUSTER.EXE

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0100 KIT:

  o A remote $GETJPI fails with $SYSTEM-F-BADBUFLEN.

          Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$CLUSTER.EXE

  o OpenVMS Alpha systems may crash with a DOUBLDEALO bugcheck at
     EXE$DEALLOCATE_C+00108 in $BRKTHRU when trying to deallocate
     some P1 pool that has already been deallocated.

          Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$CLUSTER.EXE

  o The NOAUDIT bit could get set incorrectly for DETACHED
     processes being created on a remote node in a cluster. As a
     result, audit data for non-trusted processes will not be
     captured.

          Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$CLUSTER.EXE

INSTALLATION NOTES:

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.

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_SYSLOA /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

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

       - $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE

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

            /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V3.0

       - De-assign the logicals assigned

     For example, a sample command file to install the
     VMS721H1_SYSLOA-V0300 kit would be:

          $
          $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
          $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE
          $!
          $ PROD INSTALL VMS721H1_SYSLOA/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V3.0
          $!
          $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
          $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT
          $!
          $ exit
