ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for some system components on OpenVMS VAX V7.1.
This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems Addressed in VAXSYSB01_071:

  o  A process may hang if it is being deleted while VIOC is
     waiting for a CFCB lock.  The process cannot be deleted
     because there is an original outstanding I/O which will
     never complete.   The Deaccess IRP will be placed into
     the CCB$L_DIRP field but will not be executed in post-I/O
     processing because the outstanding I/O will never be
     delivered.

  o  The AUDIT server runs into an access violation in kernel
     mode when it encounters an unknown security class.


Problems Addressed in VAXSYS05_071:

  o  A SSRVEXCEPT crash occurred early in the boot process when a
     new 'fixed' image was used.  The Signal Array had an ACCVIO
     with the message code in the offending PC = EXE$WRTMAILBOX+00C1C
     and in the operand = EXE$DELMBX+006E4.


Problems Addressed in VAXSYS01_071:

  o  Systems may crash with one of the following footprints:

          INCONSTATE SYS$VCC_NPRO+00009F04
          INCONSTATE SYS$VCC_NPRO+00009F00
          INCONSTATE VAXCLUSTER_CACHE+03EB1


RELATED ARTICLES:

Detailed articles describing the problems listed above may exist in
the OPENVMS database.  To view these articles, open the appropriate
product database and perform a query using either of the following
search strings: 'VAXSYSB01_071', 'VAXSYSB' or 'VAXSYS'.


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:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.  If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, 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.
