ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for MOUNT on OpenVMS VAX V7.3.  This kit addresses
the following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXMOUN01_073 KIT


     o  A SET VOLUME/REBUILD command on a volume set may not reset the
        volume  write  count  to  the correct number of writers in the
        cluster.  This can occur when a node that had the  volume  set
        mounted  did  not update the volume write count on dismount or
        on a crash.  A SHOW DEVICE/REBUILD command always  shows  this
        volume  as needing a rebuild.  Even a SET VOLUME/REBUILD=FORCE
        command will not clear this rebuild status.

          Images Affected:[SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE
          		  [SYSEXE]SET.EXE




     o  MOUNT and Mount Verification sanity checks have  been  relaxed
        to correct the following issues:

           o  A MOUNT/NOWRITE command on a disk on one cluster will  now
              work  correctly  even if the disk is mounted with a /WRITE
              qualifier on another cluster  in  the  SAN  (Storage  Area
              Network).  Previously, depending on the order in which the
              mounts were executed, the mount would fail with the  error
              message:

              DIFVOLMNT - different volume already mounted on this
                          device.



                            **  Note  **

          In order to receive the complete MOUNT  corrections  that  are
          contained  in  this  kit  you  will  also  need to install the
          VAXSYS01_073 ECO kit.
