| Hello,
The same problem also appears from time to time on a customer site.
He is using also Vms6.2.
I've found bug 453902 about this.
Which Vms patches solve that ?
I've asked customer to check if ALPSCSI02_070 and ALPMANA01_070 are installed.
Could you confirm that these patches have to be installed and if we have to
install other ones.

| Also an ANALYZE/SYTEM showes the following situation:
SDA> exam @EXE$GL_ERASEPB;2000
On my system the result (correct) of this is:
Zeros suppressed from FFFFFFFF.81748000 through FFFFFFFF.81749FFF
On customer site the result doesn't show zeros.
Customer is planning a reboot for this night.

OK, that indicates the origin of the problem (the erase pattern buffer
corruption on VMS).
Note that I know one customer at least that had the corruption again after
reboots!
7.0-01 (as well as the next ECO for 6.1) will include a way for Rdb to avoid
being hit by the VMS bug. A logical name will allow you to tell it to erase
by writing its own erase pattern, instead of relying on the VMS $QIO ERASE
function.
I am not sure what the state of that problem is at Digital. You may suggest
that your customer at least reports the problem to Digital VMS support ...

Digital have a new version of a device driver
(sys$pkqdriver.exe_v62_erasepb) that has cleared the problem for
several customers.

| 4935.7 | Vms 7.1 ? | CHSR36::LCONS | | Tue Mar 04 1997 04:44 | 8 |
| Many thanks for the information.
At this time, customer is looking with Dec for this new version.
They have also reported the problem to Dec.
One month ago they have met the same problem and a reboot solved it.
Another question: What is the status of this problem with VMS 7.1 ?

No idea. I think you will have to ask that to DEC.

Now, you know two customers that have the corruption again after reboots
We are trying to locate sys$pkqdriver.exe_v62_erasepb without success at this
time.
Also we are waiting for ECO1.

Doesn't someone at Digital know where it is or how to get it?

| 4935.11 | Dec can't find it. | CHSR38::ROHR | The Packers did it! | Fri Mar 07 1997 11:13 | 9 |
| Apparently they (Digital) had seen a 'trace' of it in february and
can't locate it now. Maybe it's a comet and disappears after a
certain time...
Or worse, there were a bunch of problems with it and they withdraw it.
Let's keep faith and hope, after all Digital had it in the UK.
