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.

To reserve disk space:
  1. Estimate contiguous disk space required to update your system.

    Mount the CSLT created by HPINSTAL.

    
      :CHECKSLT.MPEXL.TELESUP

      1 - Check the tape. Display errors and file names.
      2 - Check the tape. Display errors, file names and size.
      3 - Check the tape and display all information for each
            section.
      4 - Recover a TAPE BOOT file. NOT AVAILABLE
      5 - Recover a DISK file from the tape and copy it to a
            disk file.
      6 - Check the tape and display the contents of one file
            in hex.
      7 - Check the tape and display summary of tape and disk
            use statistics.
      8 - Information.
      9 - Exit program.
      
      Which level? __
    
    
    Select option 7.

    Record sectors required for axldev1.

  2. Reserve contiguous and non-contiguous disk space.

    
      :BUILD AXLDEV1.pub.sys;DISC=120000,1,1;DEV=1
      :BUILD AXLSPACE.pub.SYS;DISC=????,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" for information on finding additional disk space.

  3. Purge the AXLSPACE file. The AXLDEV1 file is automatically purged by the UPDATE tool.

    
      :PURGE AXLSPACE.PUB.SYS
