If the repository physical space constraint has been relieved by the system, the message will become inactive and roll off the console (DOM - Delete Operator Message). Then, no action is needed. However, if the system cannot relieve the repository space constraint, the repository volume capacity becomes completely exhausted, as shown in the message text: 'REPOSITORY VOLUME CAPACITY EXHAUSTED'. Once the repository volume capacity becomes completely exhausted, all of the space efficient volumes in the extent pool identified by epid is taken offline and I/O directed to those volumes will fail with Intervention Required. Any FlashCopy® relation in which the target volume is a space efficient volume that resides in the extent pool identified by epid is put in failed state invalidating the data on the target volume.
Notify the system programmer.
Use the epid as input to the IDCAMS LISTDATA EXTENTPOOLCONFIG command to get a list of the space efficient volumes residing in the extent pool. Use the device numbers returned by the EXTENTPOOLCONFIG command as input to the IDCAMS LISTDATA SPACEEFFICIENTVOL command to get information about how much repository space is consumed by each of the space efficient volumes in the extent pool. Use the ICKDSF FLASHCPY QUERY RELATIONS command to get information about the FlashCopy relations that the space efficient volumes are participating in. Finally, use the ICKDSF INIT command to initialize one or more of the space efficient volumes that are consuming a significant amount of repository space and are currently the target of a FlashCopy relation. The INIT command will withdraw the FlashCopy relation and release the repository space consumed by the space efficient volume.
