Understanding the Storage Panel

The Storage panel presents information about the virtual storage CA OPS/MVS is using. By glancing at the panel, you can see whether CA OPS/MVS virtual storage usage is dangerously close to or has already reached its limit.

If you are viewing storage utilization information about the local system, the value *local* appears in the System field. If you are viewing information about a remote system, the name of the remote system appears in the System field.

There are four pairs of lines on the panel; one pair for each virtual storage type (common storage, extended common storage, private storage, and extended private storage).

For each storage type, the first line shows the actual amount of storage that CA OPS/MVS is using. The second line shows the maximum amount of storage that CA OPS/MVS can use. For example, on the panel under Accessing the Storage Panel, CA OPS/MVS is using 502 KB of ECSA virtual storage, but it may use as much as 4096 KB.

To change the maximum amount of virtual storage that CA OPS/MVS can use, use the CSALIMIT, ECSALIMIT, PRIVLIMIT, and EPRIVLIMIT parameters. For details about specifying parameter values, see the Parameter Reference.
