Phase One: become aware of a problem and
decide how to respond |
- You create a situation to monitor available free space in your
storage groups.
- When the situation fires, you want to find and take action.
|
Phase Two: identify targets and take corrective
action * |
- Access any row within any TotalStorage® workspace.
- Click on the Unused column to resort the table by most unused
space.
- Select the candidate data sets, right click, and issue the Release
Space action from the Dataset Actions popup menu item.
This action initiates a DFDSS RELEASE command for each selected data
set.
|
* The Dataset Attributes Database and Storage Toolkit features
that you use in Phase Two replace procedures that require more effort: - If you did not have the Dataset Attributes Database feature,
you would have to look at a workspace for each volume in the storage
group, one at a time. Also, you would have to compile and sort the
list of data sets for each volume to determine which ones have the
most unallocated space.
- If you did not have the Storage Toolkit feature,
you would have to issue DFDSS RELEASE for each data set individually.
