IBM® i image
catalog installation requires at least 2000 MB of free space on the
load-source disk unit of your system.
If you are using an image catalog to install software, ensure
that there is enough free space available on the load-source disk
by following these steps.
- Enter the Work with Disk Status (WRKDSKSTS) command to
determine whether your load-source disk unit (unit 1) has at least
2000 MB of free space. If you have enough free space, you
do not need to continue with this task.
If you do not have enough
free space, go to step 2.
- Enter the Start ASP Balance (STRASPBAL)
command to end the allocation for storage in the load-source disk
unit:
STRASPBAL TYPE(*ENDALC) UNIT(1)
- Use the Check ASP Balance (CHKASPBAL)
command to view the previous end allocations and see these messages:
- Unit 1 is selected for end allocation.
- ASP balancing is not active for ASP 1.
- Enter the STRASPBAL command to move data from the load-source
disk unit:
STRASPBAL TYPE(*MOVDTA) TIMLMT(60)
- Enter the WRKDSKSTS command to monitor when the disk unit
has enough free space. If you do not have enough free space, use the
CHKASPBAL command (step 3)
to determine whether the move data function is still active.
After the upgrade is complete, enter the Start ASP Balance
(STRASPBAL) command to resume the allocation of storage for the load-source
disk unit. (This task is also included in
Checklist: Completing the IBM i upgrade or replacement.)
