Setting the threshold of a disk pool

 

You can eliminate recovery problems that occur when a disk pool overflows by setting a disk pool threshold. When the data stored in the disk pool exceeds the specified threshold, the system sends a message, allowing you time to add more storage space or to delete unnecessary objects.

The default threshold of a disk pool is set to 90%. You can change this value by dragging a pointer up or down the threshold scale.

To change the threshold of a disk pool, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).

2. Expand the System i™ you want to examine,Configuration and Service > Hardware > Disk Units > Disk Pools.

3. Right-click the disk pool for which you want to change the threshold and select Properties.

4. From the Threshold tab, increase or decrease the threshold for the disk pool.
