- 1) do not bother booting from tape, it will be a waste of LOTS of time.
- 2) boot a conversational bootstrap:
- >>b/1
- sysboot> set startup "min"
- sysboot> cont
- 3) login to system account
- 4) delete any LARGE files that are nont-needed. favorites may be old
- OPERATOR.LOG files, NETSERVER.DAT files, .LOG files, etc.
- ALSO it my be worthwhile to:
- ANAL/DISK/REP dka200:
- and
- SET VOL/REBUILD dka200:
- 4) MC SYSGEN
- SYSGEN> set startup ""
- SYSGEN> write active
- SYSGEN> write current
- 5) reboot
