6/19/09 How To Generate a Disk Analysis Report

Another way to see what is taking up your disk space is to view the i5/OS disk analysis report. To build the Disk Analysis file, use the following command:

SBMJOB CMD(RTVDSKINF) JOB(RTVDSKINF) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX)

You can monitor the job by issuing the following:

WRKACTJOB SBS(QSYSWRK)
Job name = RTVDSKINF

Once the job finishes running, create the print report:
SBMJOB CMD(PRTDSKINF RPTTYPE(*LIB)) JOB(PRTDSKINF) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX)
