IT20259: THE IBM SPECTRUM CONTROL TABLESPACE "TPCTBSPPM" IS FULL DUE TO LARGE AMOUNT OF XIV DATA.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The "TPCTBSPPM" (ID "4") tablespace is getting full quickly or
  database size may grow very large with high retention setting
  and a large amount of XIV volumes.
  
  The following messages are seen in the DB2diag.log:
  
  ADM6044E  The DMS table space "TPCTBSPPM" (ID "4") is full.
  If this is an autoresize or automatic storage DMS tablespace,
  the maximum table space size may have been reached or the
  existing containers or storage paths cannot grow any more.
  Additional space can be added to the table space by either
  adding new containers or extending existing ones using the ALTER
  TABLESPACE SQL statement. If this is an autoresize or automatic
  storage DMS table pace, additional space can be added by adding
  containers to an autoresize table space or by adding new storage
  paths to the storage group it is using.
  
  ADM6099W  Table space "TPCTBSPPM" (ID "4") has reached the
  maximum size ("549755813888" bytes) for a tablespace of this
  type and page size. To add more storage to the database, add a
  new table space.
