Description

The DEFSIZE record specifies the default allocation size directory managers assign when they allocate a new minidisk. CA VM:Director uses this default minidisk allocation size when a directory manager defines or changes a minidisk using the ADDENTRY command (using the ADDMDISK command), the ADDMDISK command, the CHGMDISK command, and the REPENTRY command (using the CHGMDISK command).

This default allocation size usually saves time because directory managers generally allocate new minidisks of the same size. However, directory managers can override this default size by providing a different size at the time they allocate a new minidisk if another size is required.

The DEFSIZE record must follow the MANAGER record of the same directory manager user ID. This record is optional, and there is no default value.
