Increasing the Size of the Minidisk

When the amount of space used on the catalog minidisk has reached the capacity threshold, you can either reduce the number of catalogs on the minidisk by condensing or discarding older catalogs, or you can use one of the following procedures to increase the size of the minidisk:

• Allocate a new, larger minidisk
• Use CA VM:Secure or CA VM:Director to define a new minidisk
• Load files to a new minidisk

Before using any of these procedures, make sure that you make a backup copy of the existing catalog minidisk.

Important! In all of these procedures, the block size of the new minidisk must be the same as the block size of the old catalog minidisk. If you need to change the block size of the CATDISK minidisk, contact Technical Support.
