Re: Disk 99% full, what to do?

Agreed, Steve, but it is possible to be in such bad shape that there is not 
enough disk to run these, I think. That's the main reason I suggested some of 
the things to get a little breathing room.

Daniel, 

the simplest way I know to get a handle on this is to run RTVDSKINF, 
wait for the batch job to complete, then run PRTDSKINF. ( have to run 
as QSECOFR ). PRTDSKINF summarizes all the objects on the system and 
gives you a nice report that pinpoints where the DASD usage problem 
is.

Do a WRKSYSSTS and take a look at the amount of temporary storage used. 
Both the maximum (since the last IPL) and the current temp storage are 
shown. This will tell you whether it is your user objects that are 
gobbling up the storage or system objects, e.g., QTEMP libraries, 
joblogs.

If you can re-ipl to get some minor space back. Then you can probably 
apply all your PTFs permanently. This should give you 1 to 2% of disk, 
where you can run gather and retrieve DSKINFO to figure out the real 
culprit.

Hello All, 

Out of nowhere, my disk utilization is 99% (total 500gb). I can go 
disktasks, but i doubt the job will ever finish. The system is 
development, hence i can re-ipl anything. 

Please advise what i can do, or is there any ways to locate those big 
files via search command? 

Regards, 
Daniel
