Re: RTVDSKINF Data Question

Jack,

Its been a very long time since I have used RTVDSKINF/PTRDSKINF as there
are software packages that do a much better job of collecting storage
metrics. I had a script that would copy out QCURRENT from QUSRSYS/QAEZDISK,
rename the member with a date identifier, and deposit the newly copied
member into an archive file I created. The accompanying script would swap
out the necessary archived member if I ever wanted to re-print as PRTDSKINF
will only read from QUSRSYS/QAEZDISK.QCURRENT (to my knowledge).

For a better solution check with Helpsystems and ask for a Robot Space
Demo. Space is a GUI product that has collection jobs on the iSeries. Its
the best iSeries disk space product I have ever seen. As an alternative,
S4iSystems makes a product called DasdPlus that is cheaper but lacks some
really nice GUI copy functions because its interface is still 100% telnet.
Obviously the downside is these 3rd party products cost money whereas
RTVDSKINF is free (-:

Subject: RTVDSKINF Data Question

Is there a way to create seperate instances of the RTVDSKINF data. It
looks
like saving it then restoring it back would be the only way. I need to
find
out what is consuming disk storage on a machine and I wanted one to use as
a
benchmark per-se.
