Re: Index Limit - VMS 7.3-2
If it's not the version limit then Karl is probably on track. The file [000000]indexf.sys contains the file headers for disk (the /headers=xxx in the disk INIT string). This file can extend on the fly, but is limited to 1 header. Once you've reached that point, any attempt to create a new file on that disk will fail. PURGE and DELETE are the short term fix. As Karl mentions above, you'll need to reinit the disk to correct the issue long term. DFU will provide information on the number of free headers.
See the help for /max and /head under INIT. The values will depend on your application. DFU will help you plan disk configuration.

Re: Index Limit - VMS 7.3-2
The Disk File Optimizer product has a DEFRAG OFFLINE_VOLUME command that will defragment the index.sys file. The disk has to be dismounted to perform the operation.

Re: Index Limit - VMS 7.3-2
did your application receive the
HEADERFULL, file header is full
error ? This would indicate, that the file header of INDEXF.SYS cannot be extended anymore.
You can easily check, whether this could be this case (if you know the disk on which this error has happened):
$ DUMP/BLOCK=COUNT=0/HEADER disk:[000000]INDEXF.SYS
If you see lots and lots of Retrieval Pointers in the Map Area (at the bottom of the file header), chances are that the INDEXF.SYS file header is full and cannot be extended anymore to allow for more files to be created on that disk.
See ATW article 4452:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_4452.html
If this is the case and Diskeeper can defrag INDEXF.SYS, you should run it and have it just try to defragment INDEXF.SYS. You will probably need to dismount the volume temporarily to defrag INDEXF.SYS.
The HP OpenVMS Disk File Optimizer (DFO) is described at:

Re: Index Limit - VMS 7.3-2
from your Forum Profile:
I have assigned points to 176 of 278 responses to my questions.
Your profile even has TWO pages with pointers to questions with unassigned answers.
Maybe you can find some time to do some assigning?
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/helptips.do?#33
Mind, I do NOT say you necessarily need to give lots of points. It is fully up to _YOU_ to decide how many. If you consider an answer is not deserving any points, you can also assign 0 ( = zero ) points, and then that answer will no longer be counted as unassigned.
Consider, that every poster took at least the trouble of posting for you!
To easily find your streams with unassigned points, click your own name somewhere.
This will bring up your profile.
Near the bottom of that page, under the caption "My Question(s)" you will find "questions or topics with unassigned points " Clicking that will give all, and only, your questions that still have unassigned postings.
Thanks on behalf of your Forum colleagues.
PS. - nothing personal in this. I try to post it to everyone with this kind of assignment ratio in this forum. If you have received a posting like this before - please do not take offence - none is intended!
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: Index Limit - VMS 7.3-2
So, you might be the first. Did the disk come from pre-6 ?

Re: Index Limit - VMS 7.3-2
I doubt it.
I have yet to see a real error message, or useful data about the disk.
Just run a DFU report and stop speculating!
Hein.
