eva800 and Vdisk

how I can enlarge a virtual disk

[Uwe Zessin]

You enter the new value into the appropriate field of the 'virtual disk properties' page and click the [Save changes] button.

Remember that you need at least OpenVMS V7.3-2 to adjust the ODS meta data.

how i adjust the ODS meta data on openvms 7.3-2

[Volker Halle]

Bernard,

you can increase the usable disk size with SET VOLUME/SIZE[=n] up to the lower value of either the physical disk size or the expansion limit of the disk on-the-fly (while the disk is mounted and in use).

SHOW DEV/FULL DGAx will show you the current value of the Expansion Size Limit. To increase this limit, you need to (temporarily) mount the disk privately and increase the limit with SET VOLUME/LIMIT[=n].

After enlarging the vdisk size on the EVA, you need to force OpenVMS to obtain the new disk size either through dismounting and re-mounting the disk or - while the disk is still mounted and in use - by forcing mount-verification on the disk (e.g. using SET DEV/SWITCH/PATH=xxx DGAx).

Volker.
