A. Overview of the DiskMaster utility.
The DiskMaster tool acts like a disk Inspector that checks automatically on a periodic basis disks changes and capacities. Through timely observation, the tool collects up to 7 levels of information on: Task, Library, Object type, Files, Sources, Users and Usage date. DiskMaster provide vital level compare features so you can later on clean and reorganize data. The DiskMaster is used for automating this process to improve speed access to system data and to ensure that the system runs efficiently. B. Using the DiskMaster utility. The DiskMaster is simply of using and implementing. The tool has various helpful modules, several useful features and options used to check disk storage capacity, perform, timely or event-driven probes and compare level features for regular disk space reorganizations C. Options available from within the DiskMaster. Define observation task: Number of observation to keep and the libraries That are included in the task. Run the observation task automatically on a period basis with interval days to restart. Display the observation task results. Compare features between one observation to others. Example : As an Example, when your disk storage is over 80% capacity, DiskMaster will monitor the disk storage, performing timely or event-driven probes. DiskMaster provides you with essential information to identify storage tendency and storage weaknesses to make storage decisions. Use command F6 form the main menu to create an observation task and use option 2 to define observation-running parameters. You can define the number of observation to keep, and the observation levels to collect. You may select the observation library list. Enter the number of observations to keep. In our example shown in Picture A, it is set to keep 2 days. Than select the observation libraries from the library list, In our example shown in Picture B, the libraries are #CGULIB & #DFULIB. Picture A – Define number and level of observation  Picture B – Select observation library list  Picture C – Display observation task You can select each of the 7 levels to display the observation information by: size, number of objects and percentage of the disk storage.  Picture D – Display graph of compare size between dates  |
