Caleb,

HTF do you buy an RVA without IXFP? Ed's right, you'll have to dump, reinit, and restore your volumes in order to reclaim NCL. If you're at 85% NCL, your box has been sick for a long time. RVA without IXFP just doesn't make sense. You would have been better off spending your money on a Shark or an EMC.

Subject: RVA: How to free up space from deleted datasets wtihout IXFP


Hello,

We have a RVA with NCL nearing 85%. We don't have IXFP. We are trying to free up space to bring down the NCL. The deleted dataset space from os/390 is not freed up in rva. From the docs and the archives post, we know that we need to run dynamic ddsr and interval ddsr. But this is part of ixfp and we currently don't have this sw.

Without IXFP, is there no other way to reclaim spaces from deleted datasets ? The redbook seems to indicate that IXFP was an option, if this is the case, then there should be some other way to reclaim spaces outside of ixfp.

Outside of ixfp, is there any manual procedure that you could do to reclaim the space from deleted datasets ? it doesn't have to be online, any procedure , even those that require downtime on the rva.

thanks in advance.

Caleb
