The Question is: When trying to perform standalone backup on the machine says: Insuficient quota...check BYTLM... Please help..... The Answer is : Please contact the customer support center for assistance. Expect to be asked more about the version of standalone BACKUP in use, and the particular BACKUP command specified. If you wish to proceed without the assistance of the customer support center, please perform a conversational bootstrap and increase the setting of the PQL_DBYTLM parameter, or please try a version of standalone BACKUP for a more recent version of OpenVMS. For OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, the Wizard would expect the following parameters ratios and values: WSQUOTA 16,384 WSEXTENT Greater than or equal to WSQUOTA PGFLQUO 32,768 FILLM 128 DIOLM 4096 ASTLM 4096 BIOLM 128 BYTLM 65,536 ENQLM 256 Here are the relationships among the major parameters: o WSQUOTA, WSEXTENT, and WSMAX should be set to the same value. (SYSGEN parameters: PQL_DWSQUOTA, PQL_DWSDEFAULT, WSMAX) o PGFLQUOTA should be at least 3000 above WSMAX, and set to the same value as VIRTUALPAGECNT. (SYSGEN parameters: PQL_DPGFLQUOTA) o Set CHANNELCNT large, to allow as many parallel I/O channels as possible. Set FILLM to at most (CHANNELCNT - 15), and never higher. BIOLM should be less than or equal to FILLM. ENQLM should be greater than FILLM. (CHANNELCNT, PQL_DFILLM, PQL_DENQLM) o Increase the DIOLM value as necessary to keep I/O operations running in parallel as much as possible. Set ASTLM to at least the same value as DIOLM, and never lower. (PQL_DDIOLM, PQL_DASTLM) o BYTLM is limited to the amount of non-paged pool available before the BACKUP starts, and should be set to at least (256 * FILLM) + (6 * DIOLM). (PQL_DBYTLM, NPAGDYN, PQL_DFILLM, PQL_DDIOLM) You can also modify these values directly on a version of standalone BACKUP written to a (writeable) randomly-accessable media (a disk, in other words) by using the follong SYSGEN commands from a running copy of OpenVMS: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN SYSGEN> USE disk:[SYSn.SYSEXE]VAXVMSSYS.PAR SYSGEN> SET PQL_DPGFLQUOTA value SYSGEN> SET VIRTUALPAGECNT value ... SYSGEN> WRITE disk:[SYSn.SYSEXE]VAXVMSSYS.PAR SYSGEN> EXIT Be certain to carefully specify the disk:[SYSn.SYSEXE]VAXVMSSYS.PAR file, as it must be the version of the file in the SYSn system root specifically used for standalone BACKUP, and obviously on the device used to bootstrap standalone BACKUP.
