Displaying Your Allocation Limits

Before you create directory entries or give them more disk space, review the names of the skeleton files you have been authorized to use and the names of the subpools and the amount of space in each subpool that you can allocate. This information can help you plan your allocations efficiently.

To display the names of the skeleton files you can use for creating directory entries, enter from CMS:

vmdirect query skeleton

CA VM:Director responds with information similar to the following, which shows the names of two skeleton files:

AUTHORIZED TO USE SKELETONS:
GENERAL
SALES

To display the amount of disk space you have been authorized to allocate and the amount you have already allocated, enter from CMS:

vmdirect query alloc

CA VM:Director responds with information similar to the following:

DIRECTORY MANAGER ’CARLAT’ CURRENTLY HAS ’44205K’ ALLOCATED.
WHICH IS 43% OF HIS 102400K LIMIT.

To display the names of the subpools from which you are authorized to allocate space and the amount of space available in each, enter from CMS:

vmdirect query subpools

CA VM:Director responds with a listing similar to the following:

Subpool   Total         Free        Largest
MAIN      11527788K     58400K      7500K

This information is organized by subpool and indicates which subpools you are authorized to allocate from. For each subpool in which you are authorized to allocate space, it shows the amount of space defined for the subpool, the amount of free space it has left, and the largest block of contiguous space it has.
