Question & Answer
Question
How much space is needed for a Tivoli Storage Manager core dump file?
Cause
Core file size can vary by environment, and may be truncated if there is insufficient space to write the dump to disk.
Answer
The amount of free space needed to write a Tivoli Storage Manager core file can vary by environment. During a busy time on the Tivoli Storage Manager server (like during inventory file expiration), use an OS utility like "ps" or "topas" to determine the "dsmserv" memory usage. Take this value and add 10-20% as a good starting value for free space needed in the filesystem where Tivoli Storage Manager resides (generally /opt or /home). This may need to be increased further if the core files are truncated.
