4.1 Reserving Disk Space for Tape Tasks

1. Log onto the console:

   
     :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
     :SPOOLER LP;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

   If you are currently running MPE/iX 7.5 (C.75.00) or later:

   
     :BUILD AXLDEV1.PUB.SYS;DISC=120000,1,1;DEV=**$system_master
     :BUILD AXLSPACE.PUB.SYS;DISC=787000,32,32
   
   

   If youare currently running on a version of MPE/iX older than 7.5 (C.75.00) and are updating:

   
     :BUILD AXLDEV1.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, and you are currently running on a version of MPE/iX older than 7.5 (C.75.00), make more space available on your system before you perform an update or add-on. Refer to Appendix C Managing Disk Space

   If you are currently running MPE/iX 7.5 (C.75.00) or later:

   If you receive a message, Out of disk space, in case of the build of AXLDEV1, you need to make more space within the first 4 GB of LDEV1. If the message appears for the build of AXLSPACE, you need to make more space on the system.

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

   
     :PURGE AXLSPACE.PUB.SYS
