Hi Eric, I assume, for performance reasons you wil not make one big filespace per disk. But about your question: I think that there will always be an little bit of space wich can't be used because. On AIX the Inode uses an littlebit of space wich can't be used for TSM-files. I could not find any exact information on it. But I always do it with tryal and error. On one of our servers we use 18gb disks and the amount of data wich can't be use is about 4 to 6 Mb per logical volume.
See you, Ronald Bazuin -----Original Message----- From: Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: woensdag 21 november 2001 15:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dsmfmt question Hi *SM-ers! I will replace my 9 Gb. SSA disks in the very near future. The new disks (36 Gb. 10.000 rpm) will have to be added to the diskpool one by one. I remember from the last time that it was quite difficult to allocate a disk file which fills the disk completely. If you have, for instance, a 9 Gb. disk, you cannot create a 9 Gb. file by issuing a DSMFMT -G -DATA filename 9. This results in an error indicating the there isn't enough space available. Apparently the dsmfmt utility needs a little bit overhead space. Does anybody know how to calculate the maximum space one can specify to fill the disk to it's maximum? Thanks in advance for any reply!!!
