Managing Disk Space
Recovery from “Out of Disk Space” during Update
5. Redo the UPDATE from the same tape.
(The files ISL.MPEXL.SYS and MMSAVE.MPEXL.SYS are small so there should not be a
problem restoring them. The file START.MPEXL.SYS is large, but under reasonable
conditions instead of just skipping it, the file DUMPAREA.MPEXL.SYS is purged by UPDATE to
make room for START.MPEXL.SYS.IfDUMPAREA.MPEXL.SYS is purged, it will be replaced by
UPDATE when enough disk space is available.)
Files Skipped Because of Other Reasons
If files were skipped for other than disk space reasons, determine the cause. There will be
error and status messages on the console. When a call to HPFOPEN returns an error
status, that status is always displayed on the console. This is the key to the cause of the
problem. Whatever the problem, it must be corrected.
1. Correct the problems that have been found.
2. If there are still problems to correct, start the system and correct them.
3. If you started the system, shut the system down.
4. UPDATE again from the same tape.
Missing Messages
If error messages have scrolled off the screen and you need the information, try the UPDATE
again. The same conditions should exist and the same messages should be generated.
Mix and Match
If a system experiences a problem and files have been skipped, the system on disk is
complete except for the skipped file or files. It is safe to start the operating system. The
system will not be a mixed system on disk. The process of replacing files consists of first
purging the old file and then creating the new file. Any errors that occur are found between
the point where the old file is purged and the new file is created.
If This Does Not Work
If the steps above do not resolve the problem, contact your support representative. Trained
Hewlett-Packard Response Center engineers can recover some systems.
When to Continue
If you have experienced problems during an Update, you can continue when the following
conditions are met:
1. UPDATE has completed successfully.
2. All files from the SLT have been restored to disk.
3. The system is up and running.
4. There is some free space on LDEV 1.
