High DASD utilization

["Graap, Ken" <keg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several years ago I had a conversation with IBM about the long term
affect of running at 95% plus AUX Storage utilization on an AS/400. I
can't remember the conversation exactly, but I do seem to remember that
there are some dire consequences of having auxiliary storage remain very
high for extended periods of time.

The part I seem to have retained in my brain was that eventually the
system would have to be completely restored.... Yikes!

Does anyone have any knowledge of what the consequences are of running
between 95-99% AUX Storage utilization for months on end might be?

Hopefully what IBM told me years ago isn't true today. 

Thanx in advance for any information...

Kenneth
