1.3 Compatibility of Galaxy Computing Environment and Non-Galaxy Cluster Members V7.2-EFT3 Release Note OpenVMS Version 7.2 introduces new security classes that are used in an OpenVMS Galaxy computing environment. The new security classes are not valid on non-Galaxy sys- tems. If your OpenVMS Galaxy is configured in an existing OpenVMS Cluster, you must ensure that all the nodes in the cluster recognize the new security classes as described in this release note. This situation applies if all of the following conditions are met: * If your OpenVMS Galaxy is configured in a cluster with non-Galaxy systems * If the non-Galaxy cluster nodes share the VMS$OBJECTS.DAT security database file * If you use galaxywide global sections in your OpenVMS Galaxy OpenVMS VAX and Alpha systems running OpenVMS Version 6.2 or Version 7.1 will crash if they encounter an unknown security class in the VMS$OBJECTS.DAT file. To allow VAX and Alpha systems running older versions of OpenVMS to cooperate with Version 7.2 Galaxy instances in the same OpenVMS Cluster environment, a SECURITY.EXE image is provided for each of these versions. The files are located on the OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-EFT3 CD in directory [VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 SECURITY.EXE_ALPHA_V62 SECURITY.STB_ALPHA_V62 OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 SECURITY.EXE_ALPHA_V71 SECURITY.STB_ALPHA_V71 OpenVMS VAX V6.2 SECURITY.EXE_VAX_V62 OpenVMS VAX V7.1 SECURITY.EXE_VAX_V71 To use the new files, you must do the following: For each OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.2 system disk: $ RENAME/LOG target_disk:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE SECURITY.EXE_OLD $ RENAME/LOG target_disk:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.STB SECURITY.STB_OLD $ COPY distribution_CD:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE_ALPHA_V62 - target_disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE; $ COPY distribution_CD:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.STB_ALPHA_V62 - target_disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.STB; For each OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.1 system disk: $ RENAME/LOG target_disk:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE SECURITY.EXE_OLD $ RENAME/LOG target_disk:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.STB SECURITY.STB_OLD $ COPY distribution_CD:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE_ALPHA_V71 - target_disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE; $ COPY distribution_CD:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.STB_ALPHA_V71 - target_disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.STB; For each OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 system disk: $ RENAME/LOG target_disk:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE SECURITY.EXE_OLD $ COPY distribution_CD:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE_VAX_V62 - target_disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE; For each OpenVMS VAX Version 7.1 system disk $ RENAME/LOG target_disk:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE SECURITY.EXE_OLD $ COPY distribution_CD:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE_VAX_V71 - target_disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SECURITY.EXE; Before you create any galaxywide global sections, you must reboot all cluster members sharing one of the updated system disks. Note that the OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2-EFT3 operating system already contains this fix.
