ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for MSCP.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V7.0. This kit addresses
the following problems:
Problems Addressed in the VAXMSCP02_070 Kit:
o These OpenVMS VAX V7.0 problem corrections were included in
the multi-version VAXMSCP01_070 remedial kit. They are now
being issued as a V7.0 only remedial kit.
There are no new problem corrections in this remedial kit.
Problems Addressed in the VAXMSCP01_070 Kit:
o Issuing ERASE commands with history logging enabled on MSCP
clients for large numbers of blocks to MSCP devices served
by an OpenVMS MSCP server causes problems on both OpenVMS VAX
and OpenVMS Alpha.
On a VAXserver, no immediate problem is noticed. However, the
possibility of a shadow set becoming corrupt exists. The
corruption will occur if there is a failure during the execution
of the ERASE command and a mini-merge is performed when the set
becomes available.
On an AlphaServer, an "Illegal Command" entry will be posted
in the system error log and the command will be aborted.
Typically, if the affected device is part of a shadow set,
the set will enter mount verification and the I/O request will
eventually fail with a "Fatal Controller Error".
o A satellite node will not boot after a preferpath/forcepath
command is issued on the server.
o Word instructions are used to reference a byte field.
