Summary:
This article explains why the high column in SYSDEVICES is equal to
19 for a disk dump device that is supposed to be 1.2 MB.
More Information:
The size of disk dump devices is maintained in SYSDEVICES in units of
62K for internal reasons (19 * 62K = 1.2 megabytes). When creating a
disk dump device with "sp_addumpdevice:" specify the size in
megabytes. "sp_helpdevice" shows both the internal values stored in
SYSDEVICES and a plain-language interpretation of them.
The "high" and "low" columns in SYSDEVICES are maintained in units of
2K for database devices.
