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

    ECO KIT SUMMARY:
    
    An ECO kit exists for SMI$SHR on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2.
    This kit addresses the following problems:
    
    Problems Addressed in the ALPMANA02_071 Kit:
    
      o  Shutting down a node that shares cluster system files on
         shadowed disks results in shadow merge operations at reboot.
         The security server process keeps files open for performance
         reasons.
    
           Images Affected:  [SYSEXE]SHUTDOWN.COM
    
    
    Problems Addressed in the ALPMANA01_071 Kit:
    
      o  Make the SYSMAN security profile consistent clusterwide.
    
         SYSMAN security profile is supposed to be identical on all nodes
         in a cluster that use the same security environment. SYSMAN could
         use the authorize privileges from the UAF, instead of the locally
         set privileges on some nodes.
    
         For example, for a cluster named CLUSTER, node NODE1 should have
         same privilege settings as another node in the cluster, NODE2.
    
              SYSMAN> set env/clus
    
              %SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment:
                      Clusterwide on local cluster
                      Username SYSTEM   (*** will be used on non-local nodes)
    
              SYSMAN> show profile
    
              %SYSMAN-I-DEFDIR, default directory on node NODE2 --
