After Upgrading the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
8.10 Decompressing the System Libraries
Enter the appropriate letter or the numbers of the libraries you want to
decompress. To decompress all libraries, the process takes approximately one
half hour.
If you prefer, you can execute LIBDECOMP interactively or as a batch job. If
you use either of these methods, you can decompress up to 8 libraries each
time you execute LIBDECOMP by listing the names of the libraries you want
to decompress as parameters on the command line. (You can decompress all
the libraries by omitting the /PARAMETERS qualifier.) Be sure to separate the
library names with commas and do not include the file extension. For example, to
decompress the VAXCRTL.OLB, DISKQUOTA.HLB, and LIB.MLB libraries as a
batch job, enter the following command:
$ SUBMIT/NOTIFY/PARAMETERS=(VAXCRTL, DISKQUOTA, LIB)-
_$ SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP
To decompress these same libraries interactively, enter the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP VAXCRTL DISKQUOTA LIB
Note that, when you type the command for a batch job, you separate the library
names with commas and enclose the list within parentheses. You do not use
commas or parentheses on the interactive command line.
8.11 Testing the System with UETP
UETP, the user environment test package, is a software package that tests
whether the OpenVMS VAX operating system is installed correctly. As part of the
postupgrade procedure, you should run UETP to verify your upgrade.
Note that UETP needs at least 1200 free blocks on the system disk and is
available only if you installed the optional save set VMS072.D. If you did not
install the optional save set, you can add the UETP files to your system using
VMSTAILOR. For information about using VMSTAILOR, see Chapter 10.
For complete information about UETP, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager’s
Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.
8.12 Increasing Free Space on the System Disk
This section describes how to increase the amount of free space on your system
disk. You can gain free space by removing optional OpenVMS VAX files that you
do not need from the system disk or by purging old versions of some system files.
8.12.1 Running the ANALYZE /DISK_STRUCTURE Utility
Certain disk structure inconsistencies may be introduced during the OpenVMS
VAX upgrade operation. To check for these inconsistencies, enter the following
command:
$ ANALYZE /DISK_STRUCTURE SYS$SYSDEVICE:
This command produces output in the following format:
Error opening QUOTA.SYS
No such file
File (2849,7,1) DCLTABLES.EXE;31
marked for delete
File (4270,3,1) SYS.EXE;2
