Chapter 7 PERIPHERAL SUPPORT
64 Disk Spindle Support
by Walter McCullough
Commercial Systems Division
With this release of MPE XL, the operating system has increased the
number of disk volumes and volume sets recognized from 32 to 64. This
means that 64 volumes or any combination of volume sets, not to exceed 64
spindles, can now be connected to the system. This new enhancement will
allow users to add more disk drives to the system enabling them to double
the disk capacity on a system.
To exploit this new feature all that is needed is a successful UPDATE or
INSTALL of 2.0, which is needed to create the disk structure used to
support this new enhancement.
The disk structures used to support the 64 disk spindle release are
backward compatible.
NOTE This product can only be ordered through Factory approval.
