Hi

If you have defined spacetrigger then the system will do this for you 
automatically.
If you do not have this then you will have to extend the db manually with the 
following command:
 extend db 2000 
The above command will extend your database by 2Gb.

The Available Space is the Total Space available for the TSM database and the 
Assigned Space is the space
assigned to the TSM database.
If you look at the Maximum Extension value you would see that you have 2964Mb 
available.
Add the MAX Extension and the Assigned Capacity you would get the Available 
Space.

The MAX Extension is what you could extend your database by.

When you add new raw/logical volume space to the TSM database you would notice 
that the Available space will increase
and that the Max Extension space would also increase.

At all times the  Assigned Capacity and the Maximum Extension will always be 
equal to the Available Space.

Subject: TSM DB extension - emergency


My TSM DB is 97% full but appears to have more space to expand.  Does it
do it automatically or must I take some action.  Here are the stats from
q DB f=d command.  I am confused about assigned capacity vs. available
capacity.  Can someone please help.

Available Space (MB): 25,000
        Assigned Capacity (MB): 22,036
        Maximum Extension (MB): 2,964
        Maximum Reduction (MB): 556
             Page Size (bytes): 4,096
            Total Usable Pages: 5,641,216
                    Used Pages: 5,475,462
                      Pct Util: 97.1
                 Max. Pct Util: 97.5

Thanks,
Ralph
