NAME

sfsadmin expand index - allocates more disk space for the specified secondary index

SYNOPSIS

sfsadmin expand index -server servername filename index npages

ARGUMENTS

-server servername Specifies the name of the file server. The name must be registered with the DCE Directory Service. If the -server option is not specified, the default is the server defined by the environment variable ENCINA_SFS_SERVER. 

filename Specifies the name of the file containing the index to be expanded. 

index Specifies the name of the secondary index for which more space will be added. 

npages Specifies the number of pages of disk space to be added.  The size of a page is 4096 bytes. 

DESCRIPTION

The sfsadmin expand index command allocates more disk space for the specified secondary index.  Disk space to be allocated is expressed in pages. Note that the amount of disk space allocated may not exactly equal the expansion request.  This is because the SFS rounds expansion requests up to the nearest convenient value. 

EXAMPLE

The following example allocates an additional 500 pages of disk space to the zipCodeIndex index of the Accounts file:

% sfsadmin expand index Accounts zipCodeIndex 500

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
