ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DISMOUNT on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3.
This kit addresses the following problems:
Problem addressed in ALPDISM02_062:
o A possible system crash occurs during Host Based RAID Unbinds
with MME code enabled. A mailbox read synchronization problem
causes the crash.
This problem only occurs when a host-based RAID UNBIND command
is done while an MME-based application is running.
This problem may occur in several different code areas of the
operating system. In order to eliminate all instances of this
problem, the following remedial kits (or their supersedants)
will also need to be installed:
o ALPSYSA02_062
o ALPBACK02_062
o ALPINIT01_062
o ALPMOUN04_062
o ALPMTAA02_062
Problem addressed in ALPDISM01_062:
o A SSRVEXCEPT failure occurs in DISMNTSHR when an attempt is
made to DISMOUNT a tape that is in use by the Remote Tape
Facility (RTF) that is shipped with the Storage Library System
for OpenVMS (SLS).
