Easy.
Do a WRKNWSSTG
See also WRKNWSD
To me this looks like this lpar is hosting disk for another lpar.
I do this all the time. Instead of having to purchase multiple disk controllers, then worry about having enough physical disk arms per lpar, it's a lot better.
If, however, you do a WRKNWSSTG, and the column "Server" is blank. Or if the entry in "Server" is not active in WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*NWS), then it's a possibility that these are no longer needed and further study is necessary.

I have an 820 running V7R3M0, and I'm looking at ensuring disk space is not taken up by 'redundant' data.

Running RTVDIRINF and querying the resulting output provides a list of IFS paths that are consuming the lion's share of the disk.

What are these? In each of the above there are a folder 'MOUNT' and a file QFPCONTROL. Within folder MOUNT are two files QFPSIDEFIL (small) and QFPCLTSTG1 (large)

Any help gratefully received - or guidance on where else to look.
