BUG # 11171 (NT: 6.00, 6.50)
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft SQL Server, the SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM) Edit Devices box
may show a negative number for the size of a device. This problem only
occurs if the device being edited is on a drive that has more than 2
gigabytes (GB) of free space. When this problem occurs, the size of the
device cannot be changed in the Edit Devices box.
NOTE: This problem only occurs when using SQL Enterprise Manager on the
client, not on the server.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- Use the DISK RESIZE command to manually increase the size of the
device.
-or-
- Install the SQL Server version 6.5 Service Pack 3 on the client. For
more information, see the Readme.txt file included with the service
pack.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
versions 6.0 and 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service
Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact
your primary support provider.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have already applied SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 3, you may still
experience this problem if the client-side copy of the Sqlew.exe file has
not been refreshed from the SQL Server.
