Preparing Your System
4.1 Reserving Disk Space for Tape Tasks
4.1 Reserving Disk Space for Tape Tasks
The update and add-on process requires a minimum number of contiguous and
non-contiguous disk space sectors. Ensure that you have enough contiguous disk space on
LDEV 1 to complete your task. The total amount of non-contiguous disk space does not
need to fit entirely on LDEV 1. Refer to Chapter 3 , “Planning for Your Task.”
To reserve disk space:
1. Log onto the console:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:SPOOLERLP;START
:STREAMS streams_device
An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. A common streams_device value is 10.
Already spooled and streamed messages might display.
2. Reserve contiguous and non-contiguous disk space using the following default values or
the estimate you made in Chapter 3 , “Planning for Your Task.”
:BUILDAXLDEV1.PUB.SYS;DISC=120000,1,1;DEV=1
:BUILD AXLSPACE.PUB.SYS;DISC=787000,32,32
If a colon (:) prompt is returned, the files were built, and you have enough disk space.
If you receive a message, Out of disk space, make more space available on your
system before you perform an update or add-on. Refer to Appendix C , “Managing Disk
Space.”
3. Purge the AXLSPACE file. The AXLDEV1 file is automatically purged by the UPDATE tool.
:PURGE AXLSPACE.PUB.SYS

your checklist.
