DISCFREE is a utility that you can use to determine the amount of
free space on a disk. You can enter any of the following commands
to invoke the DISCFREE utility: RUN DISCFREE.PUB.SYS;INFO="[format][,ldev]"
Format values include the following: | A | Shows numbers of blocks by size categories. | | B | Shows transient and free space allocations in sectors. | | C | Shows transient and free space allocations in percentage of total device capacity. | | D | Shows disk allocation summary in sectors. | | E | Shows disk allocation summary in percentage of total space.
|
The DISCFREE utility provides five types of reports: To monitor your disk space | |
Enter: The system responds with a copyright statement and the following prompt:
DISCFREE A.01.02 Copyright (C) Hewlett-Packard 1989. All rights reserved.
TUE, FEB 13, 1991, 3:02 PM
Syntax is: DISCFREE [<format>][,<ldev>]
Where <format> is one of the following:
A, HISTOGRAM, 1: to see a histogram.
B, ALLOCATION, 2: to see disc allocation.
C, ALLOCATION2, 3: to see disc allocation format 2.
D, SUMMARY, 4: to see disc allocation summary.
E, SUMMARY2, 5: to see disc allocation summary format 2.
<ldev> is the logical device number of a disc.
Enter [<format>][,<ldev>] :_
|
To skip the copyright statement and the above prompt, enter a format value with the command as follows: To see distribution of disk space | |
To see the distribution of disk space with blocks of contiguous space (blank sectors that are adjacent to each other), use format value A. The resulting histogram groups these blank sectors according to size.

To free disk space by creating a tape | |
If there is not enough free space on the disks, you create space as follows. Create a tape of the existing spoolfiles and delete the spoolfiles from the system. Enter:
FILE BACKUP;DEV=TAPE Return
STORE @;OUT.HPSPOOL;*BACKUP;PURGE;SHOW Return
|
FILE BACKUP;DEV=TAPE defines a file named "BACKUP" in class "TAPE". STORE @.@ outputs files for all users and accounts, and PURGE removes the spoolfiles from the system once each has been copied to the tape. Mount the tape and reply to the tape request. The system displays the data for each file as it is written to the tape:
#FILE #JOB DEV/CL SECTORS OWNER
#0379 #J9 LP 100 MANAGER.SALES
#0451 #J2 LP 40 MANAGER.SALES
#0453 #J3 LP 40 MANAGER.SALES
#0454 #J4 LP 40 MANAGER.SALES
#0455 #J5 LP 40 MANAGER.SALES
#0456 #J6 LP 144 MGR.TEMPACCT
|
Verify that all files were purged from the system by entering: If no spoolfiles are listed, all the files were purged. Remove the tape from the tape drive and label it.
