- Prevent MOP CCR request hang when the typeahead buffer
is used during console output.
- Add support for Software ID functions. To use this feature,
the NCL commands are as follows;
NCL> BOOT MOP CLIENT xxxxx SOFTWARE ID "-1"
(for Software ID = Standard Operating System for VXT, etc)
NCL> BOOT MOP CLIENT xxxxx SOFTWARE ID "-2"
(for Software ID = Maintenance Operating System)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.3-ECO2" 6-MAY-1996 18:49:08.71
- For DNA, map NET$_CONTIMEOUT to the SS$_LINKEXIT system service
status and the MSG$_EXIT mailbox message type instead of the
incorrect SS$_UNREACHABLE/MSG$_PATHLOST.
- Prevent crash when a Cancel request is received while a
ConnectInitiate is pending. Defer calling the actual
CloseAssociation completion routine until the pending
ConnectInitiate completes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSVCM.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.3-ECO2" 7-MAY-1996 23:12:00.78
- Prevent crash when OCB cannot be mapped after coming back
from ACP (only for RFC1006 connection).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.2-ECO08" 7-MAY-1996 22:39:17.94
- Prevent possible crash with corrupted Phase IV header.
- Correct timeout handling on point-to-point circuits.
When invoking async DDCMP, a crash could occur if
the DECnet/OSI node initiates the link to Phase IV
and times out waiting for node verification.
- Remove forced bugcheck on a broadcast VCI UNUSABLE
event when the VCIB state is not RUNNING or STOPPING.
Instead, signal a datalink down.
- Prevent alias_id in LPD from being corrupted during fork
processing.
- Check the packet size against datalink buffer size for
all packets. Do not send probe packets if the datalink
size is too small. When flooding the circuits, segment
packets if necessary.
- In the HDLC VCI interface, if the datalink reported port
unusable with an unexpected reason code, report a physical
layer failure only.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.2-ECO08" 6-MAY-1996 23:19:09.37
- Prevent possible pool corruption.
- Correct IP backtranslation of IP mail headers.
- Prevent ACP crash while running NET$CONFIGURE option 2
in ACP$UPDATEBACKTRANSTASK.
- Synchronize the execution of DeAllocatePortSubentity
at IPL 8. The unsynchronized execution of
DeAllocatePortSubentity on one thread (due to an
incoming disconnect) was deallocating the
port block (SPB) while ParseIncomingCIMsg was still using
the SPB to process an incoming connect on another thread.
These crash footprints vary and include PARSEINCOMINGCIMSG,
NET_EMAA_LIBRARY_ROUTINES, NET$QUE$REMQHI or
SCL$OUTGOINGTIMEREXPIRED.
- Correct session internal name length problem
on NCL> advertise dtss server name xxxx.
DECdns is rejecting a dns$_read_attribute request from
session with dns$_invalid_entryname status because session
is passing an incorrect internal full name to DECdns.
- Correct crash in DNACloseAssocComplete on NET$QUE$REMQHI
with BADQHDR, Interlocked queue header corrupted.
- Correct another PARSEINCOMINGCIMSG.
- Only deallocate memory that has been allocated in
FindApplic.
- Correct DNA CONTROLCOMPLETE while processing connect accept
during association rundown. These crashes have been
seen on STOP/ID for the DECdns server process.
- Correct crash TESTLCLAPPDB Accept complete.
- Prevent DECnet bugcheck in SCL$OUTGOINGTIMEREXPIRED.
- Correct crash on DEALLOCATEPORTSUBENTITY.
- Correct outgoing connect timer synchronization between threads
starting and stopping this timer.
- Reduce the amount of time it takes to report that an application
does not exist. This time was not being reported until after the
incoming timer expired. The connection will now be rejected as
soon as Session determines that the application does not exist.
- Correct the disconnect reason code used when an incoming connection
request times out. Use SCL$K_RC_TimedOut as the disconnect reason
code when an incoming connection request times out without
having been either explicitly accepted or rejected by the user
application.
- Modify $IPC user data to be compatible with $QIO by adding
receive disconnect user data to the RECEIVE_EVENT function.
- Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN hangs on Disable Session Control.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.2-ECO08" 7-MAY-1996 23:06:41.49
- Prevent crash on illegal disconnect.
- Change handling of Report Event VCRPs for Alpha only.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.2-ECO08" 6-MAY-1996 21:55:04.37
- Include for Routing LPD change.
- Correct for dropped links while SET HOST to a Phase IV node.
- Prevent NSP ports from remaining until they timed out,
sending disconnects.
- Correct NETNOSTATE crash.
- Prevent crash on shutdown in NSP alias processing.
- Correct probe of zero length buffer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.2-ECO08" 6-MAY-1996 21:10:33.06
- Correct inbound synchronous disconnects with DECnet/IP and PMR.
- Enforce more error condition checking for DECnet/IP.
- Prevent crash where invalid CR with no source-reference
is received before the RSP has been mapped.
- Prevent crash in OSITP$FLOW_CONTROL_TP4.
- Handle a receive complete for a VCIB which had already
been deallocated.
- Correct the problem where the DECnet over TCP/IP connection hangs
if the user issues a SET RMS /NETWORK=64 (or even =32) and pushes
a file. The transmitter (OSI Transport) had given TCP/IP an entire
window's worth of TPDU-buffers and TCP/IP did not
release them. The solution was to compute a
new threshold number by adjusting the recv-threshold
to have it reflect the TCP window in use.
- Consolidate tracepoints for window tracing to prevent
trace records lost with CTF.
- Correct crash lowering to IPL2 with no process context.
- Correct crash on double deallocation during invalid CR tpdu.
- Prevent class 2 hang when xmitsegquota was equal to
xmitsegcount.
- Correct INVEXCEPTN bugcheck due to bad "reason code."
- Correct memory leak on Solicit VCRP.
- Correct transmit failure "%REM-F-NETERR, DECnet channel
error on remote terminal link" when more than
127 chained DCB are given to CTI.
- Prevent crash on handling of duplicate CR with
a bad checksum.
- Prevent crash on duplicate/clone VCRP.
- Remove unnecessary CTI buffer caching.
- Change handling of Report Event VCRPs for Alpha only.
- Improve performance over links active for many hours.
- Correct probe of zero length buffer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.2-ECO08" 12-APR-1996 10:54:37.22
- Include SMP change for interlocked queue manipulation
in NET_MACRO_UTILITIES.
- Increase the maximum size of NET$CONFIG.DAT to 100 blocks
for RAID system disk.
- Disallow SET directive for FDDI and CSMA modules.
- Update ECO number in DECnet version "050808".

RELATED ARTICLES:
Detailed articles describing the problems listed above may exist in the
DECNET-VMS database. To view these articles, open the appropriate
product database and perform a query using either of the following search
strings: 'DNVOSI_E08062' or 'DNVOSI'.
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:
This ECO is installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility.
Product Kit Name: DNVOSIE08062
PCSI Kit Name: DEC-VAXVMS-DNVOSIECO08-V0602--4.PCSI;1
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. The reboot may be postponed if
it is not convenient to do it during installation of this ECO.
However, the new driver(s) will not take effect until after a
reboot.
Installation Overview
Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility (PCSI)
by logging into the SYSTEM account, and entering the following command at
the DCL prompt:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO08/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]
Note that the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI may also be used.
INSTALLATION CAUTION:
Due to an error in the POLYCENTER Software Installation, (PCSI) it is
not possible to install OSAK SPI Interface V3.0 after installing this
ECO kit.
The OSAK PCSI installation requires DECnet/OSI V6.2, which causes the
installation process to remove DNVOSIECO08. This situation leaves the
system without a SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE file, and it is not possible
to reboot.
The original installation order must be preserved. This will be corrected
in a future release.
Installation Order
Place each PCSI kit in a unique source directory:
1) DECNET_OSI V6.2 /Source=[KITS.DECNET]
2) OSAK V3.0-L /Source=[KITS.OSAK]
3) FTAM V3.2-F /Source=[KITS.FTAM]
4) DNVOSIECO08 V6.2 /Source=[KITS.ECO]
