(9928) Relocating Application Files?

Post by User » Sun Nov 14, 2004 8:26 am

We run VMS on a MicrVax 3100 with 3 Disks. One is the systems disk and the other 2 are data disks. Unfortunately two of the data files are on the System disk which has limited free blocks (675336) The two other Disks have very large free blocks 4026430 and 1005585 respetively.

Is there an easy way of making the data on the system disk go to one of the data disks.

Many thanks

Please review your application product documentation or contact your application vendor; as a general rule, it is trivially easy to copy files from one disk to another, but -- without details of the software application(s) involved -- it is not feasible for the OpenVMS Wizard to indicate how the application(s) might locate the data once the files have been moved. (The command to relocate data files is typically COPY.) The software product documentation for the package(s) that reference these data files will be of interest, of course, as will contact the vendor support organization if the product documentation
does not indicate the particular procedure(s) involved in relocating the files and (re)configuring the application(s).

The other obvious option, of course, is to move to a larger system disk.
