Recovering from Lack of Allocated Space
Recovering from Lack of Allocated Space
Recovery Process Description
Use this facility when a request for disk space on a specific disk pack has failed
before the file or extent is opened. When a request for disk space on a specific
disk pack has failed before the file or extent is opened, the following occur:
• First a console message is displayed. It informs you that there is
insufficient space available to meet the allocation request for the
requested disk pack.
• The files listed on the VTOC are then displayed one-by-one, allowing you
to take the appropriate action.
Consider the following:
• A volume can only be used once during the recovery.
• Files with an expiration date greater than MANDTE cannot be deleted by
the operator.
• Recovery actions cannot be used to change volumes for IJSYS-type
(DTFCP) files.
A list of available recovery actions is presented next.
