RE: Crashed system

This will not fix the problem of QTEMP filling up the system ASP as that
is were QTEMP is created. I do not know how you can tell the system to
use ASP X for QTEMP. There are only a handful of reasons to create
secondary ASP's, Journal Receiver and Save File. Then it is only for
performance reasons, not to isolate storage. You also have to remember
that the ASP will overflow to the System ASP automatically. This does
not solve the problem with a run away job writing to QTEMP.

Last week, our system had a run away job that filled up the disk and

the good news was the user was building a file in QTEMP. The system

My question is: Can i separate the operating system in a separate disk

[partition from the data? If so, where can I go to find information
on the how to do it

You *could* isolate certain libraries and their contents in a separate
Auxiliary Storage Pool. You would have to create a second ASP, and
remove one or more drives (or mirrored pairs, or parity groups) from the
system ASP, unless you're prepared to install additional drives for your
new ASP. Needless to say, if your box only has one drive (or parity
group, or mirrored pair), you can only have one ASP; also, you need to
leave enough hard drive space in the system ASP that the system can
function.

Please note that if you start working with ASPs, you may get bit.
