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/).

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for SYSGEN, STACONFIG, and STASYSGEN on
OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2. This kit addresses the following problems:

  o  If a third party TURBOchannel device is installed and the
     SYSGEN command 'SHOW/CONFIGURATION' is issued, the current
     process will halt.

     NOTE:  This problem is described in the "Cover Letter for
            OpenVMS VAX Version 5.5-2", AV-PPU6B-TE, Appendix A.

  o  Executing a SYSGEN CONNECT command on a VAX 4000 Model 100
     system to connect third-party Q-Bus devices will cause the
     system to crash with a ASYNCWRTER bugcheck.

  o  An access violation in KERNEL mode causes STACONFIG to
     generate an INVEXCEPTN bugcheck during device configuration
     as part of cluster formation causing a system crash.  This
     has been seen on VAX 4000 systems with third-party
     TURBOchannel options installed.
