ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the SCSI drivers on OpenVMS VAX V6.2. This kit
addresses the following problems:
o System bugchecks with ACCVIO. The PC of the crash is usually in
the middle of a structure, or some other nonsense address.
o MOUNT/CLUSTER/NOWRITE does not write lock on the node which own the
disk.
o Devices that implement AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification) may
exhibit problems when used on a VAXstation 4000.
o Sending an illegal IO$_AUDIO function to DKDRIVER can result in a
system crash, from user mode and without privilege.
o VAXstation 4000-90s, VAXserver 3100-90s and later will not boot if
system disk is in a HSZ10.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS VAX V7.1.
o An INVEXCEPTN bugcheck can occur in DEQUE_DEV_IO if a disconnected
command times out while a Request Sense is taking place.
o Under certain circumstances, targets can go into mount verification
without any error being logged into the errorlog.
o If a WFIKPCH times out instruction, stream code bits are modified.
Later, attempts to execute this modified instruction stream causes
system crashes and other problems.
o SCSI bus errors can cause OpenVMS to crash with an SPLIPLHIGH
bugcheck.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.1.
o Problems have been reported both with third party archivers that
place data after the initial EOT on a tape and with Desktop Backup
when using the "fast skipfile" behavior. This update, returns to
the old skip file by records algorithm. However, users who want to
have the ~60 fold speedup in tape positioning can use a new utility
to enable it.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS VAX V7.1
o Many errors are logged where in effect a single SCSI reset has
occurred.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS VAX V7.1
o When a tagged command times out and the port has a request sense in
progress to the device, the appearance of the tagged queue when only
tag 0 is expected causes a INCONSTATE bugcheck.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS VAX V7.1

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:
In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must
be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire
cluster should be rebooted.
