RE: DASD Recovery

[Chris Bipes <ChrisB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a note on deleting LFs, try removing the members instead of deleting
the objects.  The objects are small, the members hold the access paths.
When you need the LF again, ADDLFM.  No need to recompile.

John,

  While you can certainly remove Lic Pgms - as Nina said, make it
worth your while.  Unfortunately I don't think it will be.  If you
consider that OS/400 comes on 2 or three CD's for everything, removing
some peices likely won't net you much of that 10GB. Even so it's worth
looking at.

  Do follow Nina's suggetions (PTF apply, Journals etc) and look also
for *SAVFs as they can get big fast. Also look for Performance data
(QPFRDATA library and Q1MPGDATA as well) as that can add up.  Remove
unused device descriptions and user profiles and also get rid of
spooled files not deeded and run RCLSPLSTG *NONE (*Warning* This one
is real temporary if what you deleted is only a couple days old).

  As a last ditch effort you can delete LF's that are not used
especially over large files (be sure you know how to put them back!).

  Back in the my B30 days I could really drop that 83% in a hurry. Bad
news was we only had 800MB to work with! Dropping 83% down on 10G is
not nearly so easy.

  HTH and Good Luck!

  - Larry

  PS, Just drove through your state twice a week ago on I80 and
noticed those nasty signs, promising Big $$ Fines for speeding even
just a little, are gone.  Have they eased up on that a bit or have
they just stopped warning us?
