Re: Help DASD exploded

Dawn, Thanks for the information. good stuff.
This has been a perfect storm. I won't bother you with the details.
To put on top of this our collection services have not been running in over
a year. According to IBM I need to do some stuff including PTFs and IPL.
But I can not get permission to IPL. They want me to stay current but
won't let me.
I really wanted to see the graphs on this.

These are geared to tracking utilization and getting notified when
potential issues occur as opposed to reacting to an emergency.

This latter one includes how you can see how many spooled files are on
your system.
If you get into a serious disk utilization issue, using the following
simple select statement will show the number of spooled files increasing
along with the job generating them.

select * from qsys2.syslimits where limit_ID = 19002 order by
last_change_timestampdesc;

Betreff: Help DASD exploded

My system just went from about 50% DASD to 95%. On a 5010 G box.
I don't see any files that are bigger than normal.
Trying to figure out what to look for on the IFS (using
qsys2.ifs_object_statistics).

Any suggestions?
Log files etc.
