ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for LAT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2. This
kit addresses the following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS712_LAT-V0100 KIT:
o Due to a protocol error, an INCONSTATE bugcheck occurred in
routine LT$PROT_VIO while tearing down a virtual circuit.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$LTDRIVER.EXE
o On a virtual LTA device, some applications may hang after
receiving an XOFF character when TTSYNC was set. Virtual LTA
devices are created by using the DCL command SET HOST/LAT
<node>.
Images Affected: [SYSEXE]LTPAD.EXE
o An INCONSTATE crash occurs in SYS$LTDRIVER in routine
LT$XMT_RUN. See partial crash dump summary below:

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:
[AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools
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 VMS712_LAT /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:
1. Define systemwide logical NO_ASK$BACKUP as TRUE
2. Define systemwide logical NO_ASK$REBOOT as TRUE
3. Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL
command and add that command to the DCL procedure.
/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
4. De-assign the logicals assigned
For example, a sample command file to install the
VMS712_LAT-V0100 kit would be:
$ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
$ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE
$!
$ PROD INSTALL VMS712_LAT/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
$!
$ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
$ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT
$ exit
