The SHOWSPACE command shows storage space utilization. It displays the following information based on the currently specified Ferret scope. For more information about Ferret command scope, see SCOPE.
- Number of cylinders allocated for permanent, journal, temporary, spool, DEPOT, and WAL log data.
- Average utilization per cylinder for permanent, journal, temporary, DEPOT, and spool cylinders.
- Number and percentage of available free cylinders.
Syntax
{ SHOWSPACE | SHOWS } [ /S | /M | /L ]
Syntax Elements
- /S
- Displays a one-line summary of space information for all AMPs in the current Ferret scope. Use this option for systems with large numbers of AMPs. This is the default display option.
- /M
- /L
- Shows space information for the AMPs in the current Ferret scope, displaying one line for each AMP.
Usage Notes
Although disk space allocated for TJ and WAL records is charged against the table 0 26, no actual TJ or WAL records are found in the subtables of this table. Instead, these records are in the WAL log. The only row that exists in any subtable of the table 0, 26 is the table header in subtable 0.
Example: Using SHOWSPACE /S to display storage space utilization summary
The following output is from a large cylinder system.
