Managing File System Space
The VxDBA Monitoring Agent monitors the file system space, and when the space usage reaches a
configured threshold value, a predefined action script grows the file system automatically. The
agent can be enabled or disabled to start at boot-time. Each file system monitored has three settings
that the Monitoring Agent needs to know about:
Warning Threshold is a percent value (% of file system utilized) that determines when the
agent begins warning the administrator of space shortage
Grow Threshold is a percent value (% of file system utilized) that determines when the agent is
to attempt to grow the file system (when space usage is at a critical level)
