System Disk Full? (RESCRITICAL)

» close window

The Question is:

 
When I try to boot up the system it tells me to delete 360 block disk full
 auable to continue.
How do I delete the blocks if it will not boot up ?
 
 
Thanks in advance

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Wizard will assume that the error messages seen are
  similar to the following:
 
%AUDSRV-W-RESCRITICAL, security auditing resources exhausted on
     journal SECURITY
%AUDSRV-I-RESINFO, resource information 250 blocks needed, 0 blocks
     available
 
  The OpenVMS System Manager's Manual chapter on starting up and shutting
  down the system has the details you seek; specifically, the section on
  performing an emergency system startup.
 
  Once you have performed the conversational bootstrap having set the
  system parameter STARTUP_P1 to "MIN" and then WRITESYSPARAMS to 0
  (see the OpenVMS FAQ for another example of STARTUP_P1 and of using
  WRITESYSPARAMS), you can then log in (only) from the console terminal
  and can then remove the unneeded files from the system disk.  Once
  sufficient room has been freed on the system disk, shut down and reboot.
 
  For related details -- another article which will indicate a need for
  a conversational bootstrap -- you can enter RESCRITICAL as a search
  string for the OpenVMS support files that are available via the URL:

$ HELP/MESSAGE RESCRITICAL
 
 RESCRITICAL,  security auditing resources exhausted on journal 'name'
 
  Facility:     AUDSRV, Audit Server
 
  Explanation:  The free disk space on the disk volume associated with the
                specified audit journal has fallen below the resource action
                threshold. The audit server suspends noncritical system
                processes in an attempt to prevent complete exhaustion of
                the associated volume.
 
  User Action:  Log in to a privileged account and free up disk space on the
                disk volume associated with the specified audit journal file.
 
 
$ HELP/MESSAGE RESINFO
 
 RESINFO,  resource information: 'n' blocks needed, 'n' blocks
           available
 
  Facility:     AUDSRV, Audit Server
 
  Explanation:  This message indicates the number of disk blocks needed to
                remove the preceding resource exhaustion condition on the
                volume associated with the specified security audit journal
                file. The number of disk blocks currently available is also
                given.
 
  User Action:  None.
