RE: Disk Space Question

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

Not sure what 3rd party apps you are running or if it is in-house stuff, but
check files for deleted records. I battled a similar situation to yours for
a good chunk of last year until we replaced a 620 46GB disk with an 810 with
400GB :-)

We had several 3rd party folks files taking up an INCREDIBLE about of disk
because of deleted records. One package has a routine to run to check this
and here is what I get for the top offenders:

Total      Deleted
Records    Records

3142663    3142285 
1553379    1527938 
1681028    1522245 
 955358     954849 
2198730     598058 
 533600     461321 
 334776     324875 
 258668     253397 
 245023     244598 
 253536     233711 
 724588     233367 
 183033     179660 
 671371     148970 
 148236     142078

and this adds up to 1.3GB of deleted records - on the 620 that was a BIG
chunk !

Another package was a fax app and they had a reorg that you could run
against that that gave back a lot of space.

Also check that all PTF's are applied perm, etc.

Good luck. Any upgrades in the future ?

Chuck

Subject: Disk Space Question

What cleanup can I run, if anything, that will mimic what's happening
during IPL? We're IPLing to reclaim disk space. The IPL a couple of weeks
ago dropped usage from 88% to 80%. The IPL before that produced similar
results. From what I've read in the archives the IPL shouldn't really be
doing any extra cleanup, but the results say otherwise. It is running V4R4.

Thanks in advance for any information.
Jeff
