RE: 'Serious storage condition may exist'

Look for things you can live without, Peformance data, Audit Journal
receivers (though probably want to keep the last week or two if you need
them to track this down) PTF save files, unused logical files.  Then when
you get back to normal you can look at getting your spare drives into use.

Actually, it looks like it's not all that sudden. It looks like it's been
brewing for a few days.

I think it's been over a month since the last cold IPL. It's been down to
"restricted state" for weekly backups, but not a full re-IPL.

We have a 16.77G system ASP, currently at 96.6355% (down from a peak of
over 97%).

Current unprotect used is 837M out of 1143M

All disk units in the system ASP are over 96%. We have some drives sitting
in ASP 2, that were put there for a project we then abandoned; I don't
suppose there's a way to pull them out without IPLing to DST?

RCLSPLSTG reclaimed 606 empty spooled files, which didn't even amount to
somebody's casual urination in the middle of the  Pacific.

Oh, and it's the V4R5 box.
