Finding Out How Full the Symptom Record A-Disk Is

When the symptom record recording virtual machine's A disk is full, it cannot retrieve any more records. If your installation uses the IBM-supplied PROFILE EXEC to start up the symptom record recording virtual machine, you, the primary system operator, receive a message about the A disk's status when the virtual machine IPLs CMS. CP sends you a message when the A disk is 75% full, 90% full, and completely full. Between messages, you may wish to check the disk yourself.

To view the symptom records, you would use the LINK command so that a second virtual machine could access or link to the symptom record recording virtual machine's A disk. You would then be able to view the symptom records without interrupting the symptom record retrieval process.
