Use the REBUILD command to compress the contents of the active half of the CP object directory by writing it to the inactive half of the CP object directory, condensing and defragmenting the directory. Typically, you use this command only under the direction of Technical Support.
REBUILD
Rebuilding the active portion of the CP directory speeds up directory changes by rearranging the files and free space scattered throughout the directory so that they are stored in contiguous units. Free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. When the directory is full or when there is a high percentage of fragmented disk space, you may notice that writing to the directory takes longer.
When CA VM:Director initializes, it splits the CP DRCT (the CP object directory) in two halves: one half is the active portion that CA VM:Director is writing to. The other second half of the DRCT area is inactive. As users use CA VM:Director to make directory changes, the changes are made to the active portion of the directory. As changes continue to be made, the disk space in the active portion fragments and fills. When the active portion completely fills, or if a user issues certain commands such as ADMIN PROFILE, CA VM:Director dynamically issues the REBUILD command. During the rebuild, CA VM:Director writes the contents of the active directory to the inactive directory, compressing the data as it goes. The newly compressed directory contents become the active portion, and the previous active portion becomes inactive.
