To remove the diagnostic partition on an OpenVMS I64 system
disk and to recover the disk space occupied, delete the file SYS$MAINTENANCE:SYS$DIAGNOSTICS.SYS
and then reset the boot block. This file can contain hardware diagnostics
but is not essential for operations. To delete the file, enter
the following command:
$ DELETE SYS$MAINTENANCE:SYS$DIAGNOSTICS.SYS |
Reset the boot block by entering the SET BOOTBLOCK command
at the DCL prompt, as in the following example, where target-disk is
the device on which your target system disk is mounted:
$ SET BOOTBLOCK /PRESERVE=SIGNATURE target-disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYS$LDR]SYS$EFI.SYS |
