Scheduling Disk Space Management - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

36.4.2 Scheduling Disk Space Management

By default, the POA performs one recurring disk space management event. Every 5 minutes, the
POA checks to make sure there is at least 2048 MB of free disk space in the post office directory. If
there is ever less than 2048 MB of free disk space, the POA performs a Reduce operation on the user
and message databases in the post office. If available disk space drops below 200 MB, the POA
stops processing mail.
You can modify this default disk space management event, or create additional disk space
management events for the POA to perform on a regular basis.
1 In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the POA object, then click Properties.
2 Click GroupWise > Maintenance to display the POA Maintenance page.
3 To change the interval at which the selected POA checks for free disk space in its post office,
adjust the number of minutes in the Disk Check Interval field as needed.
The default is 5 minutes, which could be much too frequent if plenty of disk space is readily
available.
When a disk space problem is encountered, the time interval no longer applies until after the
situation has been corrected. Instead, the POA continually checks available disk space to
determine if it can restart message threads that have been suspended because of the low disk
space condition.
4 To change the amount of time the POA allows to pass before notifying the administrator again
of an already reported problem condition, adjust the number of hours in the Disk Check Delay
field as needed.
The default is 2 hours.
5 Client Apply to save the maintenance settings.
6 Click GroupWise > Scheduled Events to display the Scheduled Events page.
