Re: Critical disk usage amount

["William A.\(Tony\) Corbett" <corbett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,
90% is the IBM default threshold.  Used to be that around 95%, we'd start
getting panicky.  I don't know if it still will do this, but it used to shut
down at 97-98% usage.  It needs more than this to even IPL.  I like to use a
"real" threshold in the low 80s.  The more disk the merrier the AS400 will
be.

Reply to:
I am trying to convince people here that we need to add more disk to our
AS400. We currently have 256GIG and are at 74% utilization. What common
usage percentage do people use as a threshold that, if we go beyond this
percentage, there will be issues?
We have cleared off as much as possible but people constantly want more test
information left on the box, so we continue to grow every month.
Thanks for the thoughts.
Dave
