Disk Space Policy Settings

Each machine policy contains three key disk space settings. Find these in Infrastructure, Data Management folder:

Note: These policy settings monitor free disk space on the drive hosting the Data folder (this folder, which may be remote, contains configuration data and captured data for the local CA DataMinder installation).

Disk space check interval

You must determine how often free disk space is checked. If you set this interval to zero minutes, free disk space is never checked.

Note: On the CMS and gateway servers, we strongly recommend you set this frequency to one minute.

Disk space warning level

When free disk space falls below this level, CA DataMinder adds a warning to the Activity logfile. The default warning level is 25 MB. If free disk space continues to fall, further warnings are added to the logfile until eventually free space falls to the error level and the CA DataMinder infrastructure is suspended. Up to 10 warnings are issued, with a minimum fall in free disk space of 1 MB between each warning.

The warning level (not the error level) also represents the 'safe' level at which the infrastructure automatically restarts following a suspension and subsequent recovery in free disk space.

Note: For the CMS and gateway servers, we strongly recommend you set this level to 250 MB.

Disk space error level

When free disk space falls below this level, the CA DataMinder infrastructure is suspended. The default value is 5 MB. Following a suspension, the infrastructure automatically restarts when free disk space recovers to the warning level (not the error level).

Note: For the CMS and gateway servers, we strongly recommend you set this level to 50 MB.
