Evan, Depends if this is the boot drive for the server or just a data drive.If the boot drive, the best way is what you have already mentioned and that is to reload the server. Sucks yes. You may be able to use a product such as partition magic to copy the data in the server storage space (aka 'Disk') to a new smaller space, then relink them to the server. I've not tried this and anticipate that there could be issues because this is an active boot partition.
If this is not the boot drive then you can link in a new space, copy the data to that new smaller space, then unlink the old space and use windows disk management to change the drive letter of the new one back to what is expected by the applications. This is pretty straight forward in this case.

Hi Allwe have a customer who has a couple of IXA servers installed in a 520 running V5R3. One of the servers is running GEAC's Aurora workstation server on Win2k and the other is running citrix on Windows 2003 server.When the Win2k server was commissioned too much storage was allocated during the windows install process and the IXA now has a heap of storage allocated that cannot be used.What I would like to is reduce the amount of iSeries storage allocated to the server without having to re-configure or reload the windows or application server. Is this possible and if so how do I go about it ?I have reviewed the redbooks and the IBM technical web sites but have been unable to find any instructions pointing me in the right direction so any reference to documentation or other references would be greatly appreciated.Regards Evan Harris
