VMS Help DEFRAGMENT, OFFLINE_VOLUME, Restrictions *Conan The Librarian |
o This command is only valid on a disk device that is not mounted. If the device is mounted, an error occurs and the process will abort. This command cannot work on the system disk because it is always mounted. o For a bound volume set, this utility only works on the "ROOT" volume. o For disk volumes in a shadow set (single member or otherwise), the following restrictions apply: o Do not specify the virtual unit name to defragment (for example: DSAnnnn:). o Specify only one physical device name (for example: $1$DUAnnnn:). o Use the following procedure to defragment INDEXF.SYS in a shadow set: 1. Dismount both members of the shadow set. 2. Mount one of the physical disk volumes with /OVERRIDE=SHADOW and then dismount it before doing the defragmentation. If you do not do this, you will receive the following error: %SYSTEM-F-WRITLCK, write lock error 3. Defragment the INDEXF.SYS on the disk volume. 4. Mount the disk volume into the shadow set. 5. Add the disk volume that was not defragmented into the shadow set. Mounting this disk volume causes a full copy operation. o If you experience a power failure during the defragmentation of INDEXF.SYS, you may need to do the following: - Repair alternate index file header and index file bitmap by doing a ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR. - Delete disk:[000000]DFG$DEFRAG_INDEXF.DAT.
