ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for SYS$SCS on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.0. This
kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in the ALPCLUS01_070 kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V7.0
o Node hangs while trying to boot after sending a request for
cluster membership. The problem is due to a node having zero
send credits. Most frequently, the connection manager SYSAP
(VMS$VAXcluster) is the SYSAP effected. This behavior can also
occur when a connection is reformed.
Problems Addressed in the ALPCLUS01_070 kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2,
V6.2-1H1, V7.0
o Incorrectly allocating a new CDT (Connection Descriptor Table)
for an incoming connection request. This ultimately exhausts
the CDT list resulting in Cluster instability, loss of
connectivity and inability to reform a cluster.

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:
[AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools
INSTALLATION NOTES:
In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the
entire cluster should be rebooted.
