Re: iSeries Capacity

The system will not crash unless 100% disk is reached.

IBM sets 90% as a threshold so customers have time to order and install 
disk before reaching 100%.


As a side note, systems with very high disk usage rates generally return 
poor performance.

iSeries Capacity






Quick question.

We have always been told that when an AS400's DASD exceeds over 90% used, 
it is critical and can crash.  I can understand this on a small system 
where 10% free of a 500 GB system is only 50 GB. 

Is this still the case when you have a 5 TB system or is critical really 
toward 98-99% used?  What is the deciding factor?

Thanks,
Eric
