PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN THIS KIT
New problems addressed in the VMS731_SHADOWING-V0100 kit
o Shadowset Aborts after node is shutdown
Shadowsets on the remaining node of a multi-site cluster
abort after the serving node of one member is shutdown.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$SHDRIVER.EXE
o Host Based Volume Shadowing (HBVS) Mini Copy Problem
When using HBVS, if Mini Copy is used to return a former
Shadow Set Member (SSM) to a virtual unit, and that SSM
is removed from the shadow set before the copy can
complete, the user must execute the following commands
before adding that SSM is added back into the shadow set:
$ SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP/FULL DSAnnnn:
$ DELETE /BITMAP x
"DSAnnnn:" is the virtual unit and "x" is the BitMap ID
displayed by the SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP/FULL command. If
multiple BitMap IDs are displayed, delete the one that
has the SSM in the Bitmap Name portion of the display.
If these steps are not taken, data integrity could be
affected.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$SHDRIVER.EXE
o Repair read bias calculation for multipath devices
The read performance for a multiple member shadow set,
that has multipath enabled members, has been using only
the primary UCB, not the current UCB.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$SHDRIVER.EXE
o Default read cost for locally remote device set to high
Default read cost for locally remote device is set to
high.
Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$SHDRIVER.EXE
o INVEXCPTN Crash during shadow copy
When doing a Controller Assisted Copy, available with HSC
and HSJ controllers, if the source member gets an error
an incorrect index is set up that results in a crash.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Reboot Required. HP strongly recommends that a reboot is performed
immediately after kit installation to avoid system instability.
If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, 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.
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_SHADOWING /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
- $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT 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_SHADOWING
kit would be:
$
$ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
$ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE
$!
$ PROD INSTALL VMS731_SHADOWING/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
$!
$ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
$ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT
$!
$ exit
