#331 assigned defect

Possible mistakes in the System Installation Bulletin

Reported by: em@… Owned by: Eric Swenson

Description

In STEP 3 of SECTION 5 (5-6), the example configuration contains the line:
"prph -subsys dska -iom a -chn 13 -nchan 1 -model 3381. -number 16"
Looking at the valid models listed in AM81-04 (7-22) for the prph record, all numbers have a period after the number except for 0 (drive does not exist).
Furthermore, a few lines from this one, there's:
"prph -subsys tapa -iom a -chn 12 -nchan 1 -model 500. -number 16."
Which has a period after the 16; shouldn't the dska line also contain a period?

In STEP 13 of SECTION 5 (5-17) there's the following statement: "During this stage you will encountered the error, "set_max_length: Validation level not in ring bracket. >system_control_1>mcaa.acs", which occurs if an IMU is configured. Ignore this error message."
I believe that "you will encountered the error" should be replaced with "you will encounter the error". (Or "you may encounter the error")

Going back to STEP 3 of SECTION 5 (5-6), it is stated that: "User types in configuration fields as defined in the System Maintenance Procedures, Order Number AM81-03".
Is there any reason why AM81-03 (Multics 11.0) is referred instead of AM81-04 (Multics 12.0)?

I'll address these issues when I write up the SIB for MR12.9. I agree with all these issues.
