Automated Disk Management
DASD-Plus provides complete automation of your IBM i disk management. Organizations realize significant gains in system performance and reduced backup times when using DASD-Plus to perform your system maintenance.
Centralize Job Management
- Define one or more clean-up routines, surveys, and reports to run in a single job as job steps
- Schedule jobs in a “what if” mode or run jobs in a specific time constraint
- Setup your job to begin with the next job step where it last left off or at the beginning
- Run in the background at any time as all jobs have very little impact on the system
- Manage LPARs across multiple systems from a single console
Clean-up
- Easily customize system clean up with over 27 predefined routines
- Quickly modify, group, and run routines on an automated schedule or ad hoc
- Test your clean-up request in a “what-if” mode to simulate space savings and job duration
- Clean up routines range from clearing history logs to resizing libraries, job queues and objects
Analyze
- Run any of the predefined analysis, variance and trend surveys or customize your own
- Analyze disk usage by library, object, member level detail, directories, files, users, group and much more
- View your survey results online, drill down into more detailed results
- Create reports with your custom parameters or use one of over 25 pre-defined options for a detailed view of your system, changes in your disk or system growth
- Create interactive charts and graphs of your disk utilization today and forecast future growth with DASD-Plus Chart
- Share reports, graphs and charts with others, export images and the data to Excel
Spike Detection
- Establish disk usage thresholds using DASD-Alert
- Collect data and notify your team within seconds of spikes in disk utilization via messaging or email
- Quickly pin-point root causes of rapid disk consumption to avoid fatal system outages
- Analyze reports to take corrective action to mitigate future activities that lead to spikes in disk consumption
