Comparing the Recommended File Sizes to Actual Sizes

Compare the filesystem sizes recorded in the previous section with the actual sizes. The filesystem sizes
can be displayed using the

filesystem : list

form. The recommended values project worst-case

situations, so if the actual sizes of these filesystems are close, it is probably not necessary to change them
now. You should monitor filesystem use on an ongoing basis (see the AUDIX Administration document).
They can be changed later if necessary.

Increasing the Size of a Filesystem

If a filesystem needs to be increased, the AUDIX system must be shut down. Go to the

shutdown

form

and do a camp-on administrative shutdown.

To increase the size of a filesystem, go to the

filesystem : detail

form. Set filesystem to the

name of the filesystem to be increased (for example, disk00.ss). Press

TAB

. Set type to the type of the

filesystem. Press

ENTER

.

Tab to size and overwrite the current size with the new recommended size. Press

CHANGE or RUN

.

If there is not enough free space on the disk to allow the change, look on another hard disk (disk00 to
disk06) for available space. If there is available space on another disk, do a physical copy of the filesystem
from the original disk to the new disk (

filesystem : copy

form). Delete the original filesystem from

the original disk and increase the size of the new filesystem to its recommended value.

If you cannot find available space on any of the other hard disks, call the Technical Service Center (TSC)
and ask them to determine if any filesystems can be decreased in size (some filesystems may be largely free
space). Once this is done, you should be able to increase the size of the original filesystem.

NOTE

If the filesystem is redundant, there must be space on both the primary and backup disk.
