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

    PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN THIS KIT
    
    New problems addressed in the VMS731_CLIUTL-V0100 kit
    
         o  SHOW SYS/STATE=RWxxx ACCVIO if RWINS processes  present
            on the system
    
            If RWINS processes are present on the system, a SHOW
            SYS/STATE=RWxxx command results in an ACCVIO:
    
            $ SHOW SYS/PROC/STATE=RWINS
    
            %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00,
            virtualaddress=0000000004F22A58, PC=0000000000041E84,
            PS=0000001B

            000000000000001B
    
    
            Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE
    
    
    
    
         o  SHOW DEVICE Command ACCVIO
    
            A SHOW DEVICE command can cause an ACCVIO when trying to
            display information about a shadow set in a merge state.
    
            $ SHOW DEVICE DSA31
    
            Device  Device  Error  Volume     Free     Trans Mnt

            Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE
    
    
    
         o  SHOW_DEVICE/SIZE=BYTES ACCVIO
    
            A SHOW_DEVICE/SIZE=BYTES command can cause an ACCVIO when
            only one free block is left on the device.  For example
            (output truncated for formatting purposes):
    
            $ SHOW DEVICE DVA0
    
            Device             Device        Error  Volume  Free
            Name               Status        Count  Label   Blocks
            $1$DVA0: (MIKAXP)  Mounted alloc     0  TEST         1
    
            $ SHOW DEVICE DVA0/SIZE=BYTES
    
            Device             Device        Error  Volume  Free
            Name               Status        Count  Label   Blocks
            %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=78,
            virtual address=300000000000 001B, PC=00000000000121E0,
            PS=00021D40
    
            Improperly handled condition, image exit forced.
            Signal arguments:   Number = 0000000000000003
    
                                Name   = 000000000000000C
                                         0000000000045A78
                                         300000000000001B
    
    
            Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SHOW.EXE
    
    
    
         o  SHOW_DEVICE inconsistency
    
            When looking at specific disks, SHOW DEVICE command
            output is inconsistent among the various nodes in a
            cluster.  On a ten node cluster, some nodes fail to
            display information of some of the disks.  In the
            following example, node SEBAGO displays correct
            information, while node NANOOK is missing some devices
            (output has been truncated for formatting purposes).
    
                   SEBAGO_CTM> SHOW DEVICE DUA13

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
    
    Installation Command
    
         Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software installation utility
         by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the
         DCL prompt:
    
         PRODUCT INSTALL VMS731_CLIUTL /SOURCE=[location of Kit]
    
         The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that
         contains the kit.
    
         Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing
         HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt
    
    
    Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions
    
         During installation, this kit will ask and require user response to
         several questions.  If you wish to automate the installation of
         this kit and avoid having to provide responses to these questions,
         you must create a DCL command procedure that includes the following
         definitions and commands:
    
          -  $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
    
          -  Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL command and
             add that command to the DCL procedure.
    
               /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
    
    
          -  De-assign the logicals assigned
    
         For example, a sample command file to install the
         VMS731_CLIUTL-V0100 kit would be:
    
         $
         $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
         $!
         $ PROD INSTALL VMS731_CLIUTL/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
         $!
         $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
         $!
         $ exit
