4.2 Reserving Disk Space for Distributing Staging Areas
A staging area requires a minimum amount of non-contiguous disk space sectors. Ensure
that you have enough non-contiguous disk space on LDEV 1 to complete your task.
To verify the remote system has enough disk space:
1. Log onto the console on the remote system with the following conditions:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:SPOOLER LP;START
:STREAMS streams_device
An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. A common streams_device value is 10.
Already spooled and streamed messages might display.
2. Verify disk space availability on your remote system.
a. Log onto the remote system.
b. Check for available disk space on LDEV1 using DISCFREE.
:RUN DISCFREE.PUB.SYS;INFO= “C,1,mpexl_system_volume_set”
where mpexl_system_volume_set is the name assigned to the system volume set.
If the AVAIL TO PERM SPACE on LDEV 1 is greater than the staging area disk space
calculated in “Estimating Disk Space,” proceed with your task.
If the AVAIL TO PERM SPACE is not greater than the staging area disk space calculated
in “Estimating Disk Space,” you need to make more space available on your system
before you continue with your task. Refer to Appendix C , “Managing Disk Space,” for
information on finding additional disk space.

section on your checklist.
