StorageTek manual 56VM/HSC 6.0 System Programmer’s Guide

Warning: StorageTek recommends backing up all CDS copies prior to issuing the CDS EXpand command. Failures during the expand operation usually cause the CDS to be unusable. It is important to back up the CDS before invoking the CDS EXpand command to insure that the latest copy of the CDS is available in case of a failure during the expand operation.

The number of formatted blocks in the CDS remains constant for all copies of the CDS regardless of the physical space allocated for CDS copies. The number of formatted blocks is determined by the maximum number of 4096 blocks that can be written in the smallest CDS copy.

Users must modify CDSDEF control statements to make them consistent with the CDS definitions in this command.
