System Management Release Notes
4.42 User Environment Test Package (Integrity servers Only)
• The device phase currently does not complete execution due to an access
violation.
• The DECnet phase runs fine. The cluster phase is still being tested. It
appears to execute properly, but there are some concerns, and the output does
not show other system names properly.
4.43 Recommended Caching Methods
Permanent Restriction
Virtual I/O Cache (VIOC) — also known as VAX Cluster Cache (VCC) — is
not available on OpenVMS Integrity servers. On Integrity servers, setting the
SYSGEN parameter VCC_FLAGS to 1 is equivalent to setting VCC_FLAGS to 0
or not loading caching at all.
HP recommends Extended File Cache (XFC) as the preferred method for caching
on both Alpha and Integrity servers. For more information about XFC, refer to
the HP OpenVMS System Manager’s Manual.
In a future release of OpenVMS Alpha, support for VIOC will be removed.
4.44 Analyze Utility for OpenVMS
The following sections describe corrected problems in the Analyze Utility for
OpenVMS.
4.44.1 Formatted Symbol Vector Correctly Shown in Data Segment
Previously, the symbol vector summary information did not indicate the segment
in which the symbol vector resided. The symbol vector was formatted only in the
dynamic segment.
This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1. The formatted symbol vector
now appears with the data segment in which it is contained. The formatted
symbol vector is embedded in data and visible in a dump of the data.
To avoid formatting the same data twice, the symbol vector is no longer shown
with the dynamic segment. To make formatting of the symbol vector easy, the
SYMBOL_VECTOR keyword is allowed for the /SEGMENT qualifier. When you
specify this keyword, the resulting output is only the formatted symbol vector.
The surrounding data are not shown. To show and format all of the data, select
the segment by number.
To get equivalent output for the former command /SEGMENT=DYNAMIC for
symbol vectors, use the /SEGMENT=(DYNAMIC,SYMBOL_VECTOR) qualifier.
The summary information shows the name of the data segment that contains the
symbol vector.
4.44.2 Transfer Array Formatted in Data Segment
Previously, if you selected the data segment that contained the transfer array
(either by segment number or with the ALL keyword), the transfer array was not
formatted. Information about the transfer array was shown only in the summary.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1. The formatted tranfer
array now appears in the data segment.
