Disk Space Error Messages
The update tools (UPDATE,AUTOINST, HPINSTAL, and Patch/iX) that modify your system
require a minimum amount of contiguous sectors of disk space on LDEV 1 and
non-contiguous sectors on the system volume set to ensure a successful modification
process. These disk space sectors are a subset of, and are included in, the peak usage disk
space requirements. The default disk space requirements are listed below.
The tools search for the default disk space during the modification process. At any point in
the process, if the tool does not find the disk space it requires, you may see an error
message. The error messages and responses required vary depending upon when they
occur in the modification process. For additional information, refer to Appendix C ,
“Managing Disk Space,” and Appendix H , “Error Messages and Warnings.”
