ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the CPU Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1-1H1
through V6.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in the ALPCPU0D01_061 ECO Kit:
o The previous kit (ALPCPU02_062) applied to V6.1 as well as to
V6.2. That kit is being re-issued as two kits, one for each
version. This kit is the OpenVMS V6.1 portion of the kit.
This kit has no new fixes. If you have installed the
ALPCPU02_062 remedial kit on V6.1, you do not need to install
this kit.
There were no fixes in the ALPCPU02_062 kit specifically for OpenVMS
Alpha V6.1-1H1 or V6.1-1H2.
Problems addressed in the ALPCPU01_062 ECO Kit for OpenVMS Alpha
V6.1-1H1 and V6.1-1H2:
o On AlphaStation 200, AlphaStation 400 4/233, AlphaServer
1000 4/200 CPUs, and AlphaServer 1000, about one out of every
ten SET TIME commands will set the year or month incorrectly.
It appears that the most common incorrect years are 2014 and
1858.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.

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

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at
this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
