5 Specify the Job Properties:
Add Min: Minimum number of days of partitions for future data that should exist in the
database at any time
Add Max: Maximum number of days of partitions for future data that should exist in the
database at any time
Archive Chunk: Minimum number of days of partitions that apply to the total number of
days of partitions for the Archive.
NOTE: If the fewer than Add Min days partitions exist in the database, partitions are added
until there are enough partitions for Add Max days. Archiving is done in chunks of days so that
these database operations are not necessary every day.

11.2.7 Managing Disk Space Allocation

The Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment installation allocates 70% of the free disk space available at the
time of installation for database, and the value is specified in the
the
. If the database consumes more than what is allocated, the Sentinel services
das_core.xml
might halt. To monitor such incidents, a scheduler job has been created in the Sentinel services. The
scheduler job monitors the disk space for threshold. There are two thresholds for the disk space. The
value for the lower threshold is 85% and for the upper threshold it is 95% of the disk space
allocated.
The scheduler job runs based on the value specified in the dbStatsInterval property of the
. When the database/tablespace size reaches the threshold limits, Sentinel 6.1 Rapid
das_core.xml
Deployment system warns you of the disk space limit and behaves as follows:
Lower Threshold: When database/tablespace size reaches 85% of the disk space allocated, the
Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment system warns you with an internal audit event indicating the limit.
These are logged as internal audit events with severity 4.
Upper Threshold: When the database/tablespace size reaches 95% of the disk space allocated,
Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment system removes the oldest partitions for each partition group until
database/tablespace size falls below the threshold level (85%), and also sends an internal audit event
for each partition dropped.
NOTE: Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment does not attempt to remove the online current partition.

11.3 Using the SDM Command Line

The SDM command line functions can be used instead of the GUI. The command line can be used to
create a batch file or cron job for SDM operations, but Novell
instead. Auto-archiving can be configured on the Partition Configuration tab of the SDM GUI.
