What can I do with this system value?

In System i Navigator, you specify the maximum percentage of used storage allowed. If you use the character-based interface, you specify the percentage of storage to remain available (the lower limit). For example, if you specify 95% in System i Navigator for the Maximum system disk pool usage system value, the value shown in the character-based interface for the QSTGLOWLMT system value is 5.00.

When the available storage in the system disk pool has reached the limit specified in this system value, the action specified for the When maximum usage is reached (QSTGLOWACN) system value is taken.
