IMPORTANT NOTICE

The online distribution of OpenVMS and related product patches is being migrated to the HP ITRC (Information Technology Resource Center) patch distribution site. The new ITRC patch server will allow OpenVMS customers to take advantage of many enhanced features for patch searching and distribution.

Beginning August 1, 2003, OpenVMS and related Layered Product, publicly available patches will be available from the HP ITRC web site at

http://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

The same patches will still be available from the existing patch server in Colorado Springs (http://www.support.compaq.com/patches/) through the end of October 2003, to give customers sufficient time to update their bookmarks and make the transition to the HP ITRC web site.

ECO kits will also be available by raw FTP from (ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/).

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS AND REGISTER ON THE NEW SITE NOW

Note: if you're having trouble connecting to the ITRC site, please delete any cookies for "itrc.hp.com" from your browser and try again. Report any difficulties with or suggestions to MrVMS

              a phase IV compatible address, the preDSP portion of the

             MCR NCL SHOW OSI TRANSPORT LOCAL NSAP IP_ANY REMOTE NSAP * IP ADDR ...
           - Prevent possible double deallocation of a disconnect VCRP by

    Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
          ECO01:
           - Correct a  design problem  to allow for very long latency in
             TCP/IP Services  between the transmit request and the actual
             completion,  if  there are any problems in TCP/IP delivering
             the data message.
          ECO02:
           - Modify TPCONS design to enable the TCP/IP PWIPdriver to be

    Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRACER.EXE:
      Image Identification    "V7.3ECO02"        30-DEC-2000 01:13:58.84
    
    
    Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:
          ECO01:
           - Allow a connection to be disconnected immediately for a dysfunctional
             link rather then waiting for the timeouts to complete.

             internal zero pointer value which could occur with some I/O
             cancellations.
           - Correct null pointer crash in ACT$RCV_CI.
          ECO03:
           - Remove gratuituous IOLOCK8 acquisition and release.
           - Enlarge NSP OOOP cache from 7 to 32.

             network  confirm) state  to ACT$P_TPDUERR rather then bugcheck.
          ECO02:
           - Corrected queue synchronization problem that could causes system
             crashes during connection establishment and termination on
             multiprocess systems.
           - Corrected the code to properly handle a rare situation that can
             occur if a request to retransmit is made to routing and the
             permission is not granted until transport has begun to terminate
             a connection.  A null buffer pointer was not being handled properly.
            -Removed some logic that had been included to handle an obsolete
             protocol quirk in older PC platforms.  The code was found to be
             responsible for long delays under rare circumstances.
            -Modify the deallocation of chained receive DCBs from PWIPdriver
             to prevent possible system crash in OSI Transport or TPCONS.

             the code by the ALPHA BLISS compiler.
           - Prevent crash in remote service provider counter routine with
             more integrity checking.

             restarted without a DECnet restart.
           - Multiple changes to prevent exotic timing problems with the
             latency in TCP/IP Services I/O completion.
          ECO03:
           - Remove gratuituous IOLOCK8 acquisition and release.
    
    Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM:
        File Identification:    "V7.3ECO01"         12-JUN-2001 15:19:06.14
          ECO01:
            - Prevent possible shutdown hang in Transports or Routing.

          ECO01:
           - Prevent PGFIPLHI when Autogen does not complete and LIBOTS code
             is not properly mapped into memory.  If LIBOTS is not resident
             then have the network startup fail with NET$STARTUP_STATUS set
             to OFF-AUTOGENREQ.
    
    Update to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE:
          ECO01:

       Image Identification:   "V7.3ECO02"         11-MAR-2002 17:07:32.35
          ECO2:
           - Check the VCIB pointer first before deallocating the VCRP to

             could happen when an expedited data message was received after
             a disconnect from the remote system.
    
    
    Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
          ECO1:
           - Correct a  design problem  to allow for very long latency in
             TCP/IP Services  between the transmit request and the actual
             completion,  if  there are any problems in TCP/IP delivering
             the data message.
          ECO2:

          ECO1:

             link rather then waiting for the timeouts to complete.
          ECO2:
           - Corrected the transmit copy code to handle the occurence of an
             internal zero pointer value which could occur with some I/O
             cancellations.
           - Correct null pointer crash in ACT$RCV_CI.
    
    
    Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:

           - Change  the  action routine  on a TPDU error in a WFNC (wait for
             network  confirm) state  to ACT$P_TPDUERR rather then bugcheck.
          ECO2:
           - Corrected queue synchronization problem that could causes system
             crashes during connection establishment and termination on
             multiprocess systems.
           - Corrected the code to properly handle a rare situation that can
             occur if a request to retransmit is made to routing and the
             permission is not granted until transport has begun to terminate
             a connection.  A null buffer pointer was not being handled properly.
            -Removed some logic that had been included to handle an obsolete
             protocol quirk in older PC platforms.  The code was found to be
             responsible for long delays under rare circumstances.
            -Modify the deallocation of chained receive DCBs from PWIPdriver
             to prevent possible system crash in OSI Transport or TPCONS.

             the code by the ALPHA BLISS compiler.
           - Prevent crash in remote service provider counter routine with
             more integrity checking.

             restarted without a DECnet restart.
           - Multiple changes to prevent exotic timing problems with the
             latency in TCP/IP Services I/O completion.

             is not properly mapped into memory.  If LIBOTS is not resident
             then have the network startup fail with NET$STARTUP_STATUS set
             to OFF-AUTOGENREQ.
    
    Update to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE:
          ECO1:

    INSTALLATION NOTES:
    
    Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation
    utility (PCSI) by logging into the SYSTEM account, and
    entering the following command at the DCL prompt:
    
    $ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO03/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]
    
    Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI
    if you wish.
    
    For the corrections to take effect, you must reboot the system.
    If you are a member of a VMScluster, you must reboot the entire
    cluster.  You can postpone rebooting if it is not convenient
    for you to do so now; however, the new driver(s) will not take
    effect until after a reboot.
