Hi Again

Regarding the TSM DB, wouldn't the 'Used' and 'Total Usable Pages' figures
help to point to a fragmentation problem.

The output fro our DB is as follows:-

Available Space (MB):                         10,000
       Assigned Capacity (MB):         8,500
       Maximum Extension (MB):         1,500
       Maximum Reduction (MB):         1,492
            Page Size (bytes):         4,096
           Total Usable Pages:         2,176,000
                   Used Pages:         1,787,528
                     Pct Util:         82.1
                Max. Pct Util:         82.5
             Physical Volumes:         2
            Buffer Pool Pages:         32,768
        Total Buffer Requests:         10,278,342
               Cache Hit Pct.:         98.88
              Cache Wait Pct.:         0.00



Our database is 8500Mb assigned, and 82.1% utilised. So how do the figures of '1,787,528 pages used' and '2,176,000 Usable Pages' work in this case. If we have used 81% percent of 8500, our usable pages should be much lower
than used pages shouldn't it? Or am I missing something?

Thanks again

1.788 / 2.176 ~= 0.82, so that sort of works out. Each db page is 4k in size, so 2,176,000 * 4k = 8704000000 with will probably work out to about 8.5G, zo no problem ther either. Oh and uasble = free + used ;-)
