Hi folks I am back on the newsgroup because I desperately would like some information. We currently run TSM 3.1 on an MVS 390 mainframe. As you are aware definition of the disk storage pools contain an option to migrate to the next storage pool (in our case cartridge) if the disk pool exceeds a specified value. In our case we have these migration thresholds set at high 90% low 70% this means when the disk pool exceeds 90% migrate data until it reaches 70% and then stop. I believe this is different from a forced migration where you empty the storage pool in preparation for the next backup process.
The question I have been asked is how do I know if we are spilling into this cartridge pool, i.e. how often is the disk pool exceeding 90% and forcing migration. This being the case we will incur extra processing and require to increase the size of the DASD pool. Can anyone tell me how to find out if this spill process is occurring. I.e. does anyone have a script, batch job etc. on how to determine when (if) this is happening. Even what I should be looking for to determine if this is happening would be helpful.
