Robot/SPACE
An answer for every disk space question
Is the disk half empty or is it half full? It wouldn’t
matter if you had unlimited disk space. But, you don’t.
With Robot/SPACE, you’ll never wonder or worry about disk space
again. It monitors your ASPs, IASPs, libraries, IFS objects, active
job storage levels, and more—automatically.
Customize ASP And IASP Monitoring
Robot/SPACE constantly monitors your ASP and IASP (Independent Auxiliary
Storage Pool) utilization. It’s up to you to decide how they’re
monitored. You can set up to three storage thresholds for each ASP.
When a threshold is reached, Robot/SPACE can do one or more of the
following: send a message to a message queue; use Robot/ALERT to send
a text, e-mail, or pager message to a specified device; send a status
message to the Robot/NETWORK Status Center; or start a Robot/SCHEDULE
job to correct the storage problem.
Stop Runaway Jobs
Don’t let runaway jobs spoil system performance for all your
users. Robot/SPACE allows you to set storage thresholds for your temporary
jobs, QTEMP files, and spooled files. When a threshold is met, Robot/SPACE
can trigger a system message, a Robot/ALERT
message, or a Robot/NETWORK status message.
Also, if a job is growing out of control, you can hold or end it—automatically—when
it hits the threshold you set.
Track Any Object Or Group Of Objects
Collection groups allow you to collect statistics for different sets
of objects on your system. Use the collected statistics to create
a graph that shows the growth history for a group of objects. Or,
create a growth trend graph, using the object’s growth history,
to predict the group’s size in the near and distant future.
You also can compare library and object collection statistics to
determine growth from one collection to the next.
Find Disk Storage Problems Fast
The Critical Storage Investigator (CSI) is a
problem-solving tool that helps you use a logical progression to find
disk storage problems quickly. It displays real-time ASP storage, detailed
ASP growth history, ASP threshold history, active job storage history,
and the active job status.
You can assess your current storage status at a glance or, if necessary,
drill down deeper to see precisely when and why storage thresholds
were met.
