Situation Description

Alert (warn) when a warning-level storage shortage signal (i.e. an ENV Event) has been raised. One of the following Storage Shortage Types will be displayed with a warning-level storage shortage alert:

  1. Pageable_Storage
  2. Auxiliary_Storage
  3. Available_Frame_Queue_Shortage

Possible cause of the storage shortage condition may be one or more address spaces which are allocating and fixing too much storage or using too much auxiliary storage.

 

Suggested Actions

Monitor the warning conditions and frequency of warning conditions escalating to critical shortage conditions. Refer to the advice information provided with the related KM5_Storage_Shortage_Critical Situation to address critical storage shortage conditions. From the Real Storage workspace, navigate to the Storage Shortage Alerts workspace and Storage Shortage Trends workspace to examine warning and/or critical storage alert trends.

Note that SRM, with guidance from PARMLIB OPT settings, will take steps to relieve the storage shortage condition. Action may only be required if the problem reaches a critical threshold condition.
