RE: Cisc to Risc Disk Requirement

It's been a while, but you may want to try doing the following:

1)  Permanently apply all temporary PTF's
2)  Perform all disk housekeeping tasks (ie. reorgs, delete old spool
files, remove unnecessary objects, etc.)
3)  Save and delete any libraries that aren't needed.
4)  When this fails, adding disk may be your only other alternative.

Before I comment, I want to make sure we're talking about the 
same thing. :)   When I did my upgrade, I looked at my disk usage
information in the EUA's option called "QB020" and it looked 
something like this:

                                                    Estimated Storage
  Target release . . . . . . . :   V4R5M0
  Date collected . . . . . . . :   02/23/01
  Current supported system capacity (M)  . . . . . . :   5158.99
    Storage used (M) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     4559.72
  Required IMPI system capacity (M)  . . . . . . . . :   4813.21
  Required PowerPC AS capacity (M) . . . . . . . . . :   6709.89

                             Storage          IMPI          PowerPC AS
         Sufficient          Capacity         Storage       Storage
ASP      Storage               (M)            Required      Required
  1        No                  5158.99           4813.21       6709.89

                                                     Storage Requirements
Detai
  ASP number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   1
  Sufficient Storage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   No


As you can see, it says that I don't have sufficient storage.  The IMPI
(CISC) storage required is below the amount of storage that I have, and
the PowerPC (RISC) storage required is above the amount.

To me, it appeared that the reason it said I wouldn't have enough storage
seemed to be that it assumed that I was using the same disks on the RISC
machine as I had on a CISC machine.  (Does anyone actually do that?!)

In reality, my RISC machine had 5 times as much disk space as my CISC
machine -- the 6gb wasn't even close to filling the disk.

So I went ahead and did the upgrade -- I didn't have any problems.  It
only needed a tiny amount of additional space on the CISC machine (for
the QUPGRADE library)  I had absolutely no problems with disk space.

Hope that helps...
