Finding Out How Full the Accounting A Disk Is

When the accounting 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 accounting virtual machine, you receive a message about the A disk's status when the virtual machine IPLs CMS. Also, CP sends you, the primary system operator, 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 see how much room there is on the accounting virtual machine's A disk:

1. Stop accounting record retrieval.

   To do this, see Stopping Retrieval of Accounting Records.

2. Enter:

   query disk a

   In response, CMS tells you how full the A disk is.
3. Resume accounting record retrieval.

   To do this, see Resuming Retrieval of Accounting Records.
