RE: How do I tell if STRASPBAL is still running?

Just try starting it again - it will tell you if it's running.

Subject: How do I tell if STRASPBAL is still running?

How do I tell if STRASPBAL is still running?  I am aware that STRASPBAL 
and TRCASPBAL completion messages are sent to QHST.  So the following 
command is handy if you want to see only information pertaining to these

commands.
DSPLOG MSGID(CPI1474 CPI1475 CPI1476 CPI1477 CPI1478). 

Message ID  Severity  Message Text 
 CPI1474       10     ASP balancing successfully started for ASP &1. 
 CPI1475       10     ASP balancing for ASP &1 ended. 
 CPI1476       10     ASP tracing successfully started for ASP &1. 
 CPI1477       10     ASP tracing for ASP &1 ended. 
 CPI1478       10     ASP tracing data successfully cleared for ASP &1.

From GDIHQ:

The first one was started by the addition of a new disk drive with the 
option to add unit to asp and balance data.

But if I just want to see if the asp balancing is still running how do I

tell?
We plan on running the
STRASPBAL TYPE(*USAGE)
tonight, based off of our results from the TRCASPBAL.

ps:  We have eighty three 4327 (70GB) disk arms in this lpar.  Ranging 
from 0 to 12% busy and 88.8 to 89.4% used.
