Expanding the System Libraries (Optional, Alpha Only)  



Libraries included with the OpenVMS Alpha operating system kit are in data-reduced (compressed) format. Unless disk space is limited, HP recommends expanding (decompressing) these libraries to give the system faster access to them.

The libraries included with the OpenVMS I64 operating system kit are in expanded (uncompressed) format. HP recommends keeping the libraries in expanded format. However, you can compress any of these libraries if necessary.

To expand libraries that are in data-reduced format or compress libraries that are in expanded format, use the OpenVMS Library Decompression utility (LIBDECOMP.COM). The utility runs on both OpenVMS Alpha and I64 systems. To run the utility, enter the following command:

$ @SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP

For additional information about the utility, you can request help by entering the following command:

$ @SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP HELP

You can list the sizes and format (reduced or expanded) of the libraries by using the following command:

$ @SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP LIST

For complete details about expanding and reducing system library files and using LIBDECOMP.COM, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.

Reduced and Expanded Library Sizes lists the libraries that ship on OpenVMS Version 8.2 and shows the approximate sizes of the libraries in both data-reduced (compressed) and expanded format. Note that library sizes differ for Alpha and I64 systems.


NoteFile sizes are subject to change. Some changes may have occurred after this manual went to print. In addition, layered products and user applications might add entries to the HELPLIB.HLB and STARLET.OLB libraries. The sizes listed in Postinstallation and Postupgrade Checklist do not reflect such entries. For the most accurate information, run the Library Decompression utility on your own system and review the output from the list function.
