Determining how much disk space is free

Blueworx Voice Response includes both static and dynamic files. By default, the static files are stored in the /usr file system. The dynamic files are stored in the /home file system.

As part of the installation process, the dynamic files might have been moved from /home to a different file system. Whichever file system is used, however, if the directory in which the dynamic files are stored starts to run out of space, Blueworx Voice Response might not perform as expected.

Checking disk space

The following instructions describe how to determine how much disk space is available in each Blueworx Voice Response file system. For a complete description of the Blueworx Voice Response file systems and information on how to manage the files, see Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Managing and Monitoring the System. For information on moving the dynamic files to a different file system, see Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Installation.

To check the amount of free disk space, use the AIX operating system:

  1. If no AIX window is open, open one by selecting an area on the screen background and clicking AIX Login.
  2. Log onto the Blueworx Voice Response AIX account (usually dtuser).

    The system displays the User Login menu.

  3. Type 2 and press Enter.

    The system displays the system prompt, which is usually a dollar sign ($).

  4. Type df and press Enter.

    The system lists all file systems and the amount of space (in KB) that is free in each. The name of the file system is on the far right.

Using SMIT to increase the size of your file system:

  1. Log on to AIX as root.
  2. To use SMIT, type smitty and press Enter:

    The system displays the System Management menu.

    • —> System Storage Management (Physical and Logical Storage)
    • —> File systems
    • —> Add / change / show / delete file systems
    • —> Journaled file systems
    • —> Change / show characteristics of a journaled file system

      The system displays a list of file system names.

  3. Select the name of the file system that you want to change:

    The system displays the change / show characteristics of a journaled file system menu

  4. Change the number in the SIZE of file system field to the size you want for the file system.
  5. Click the Do button.
