DB2 Subsystem Size

How do you find the size of your entire DB2 subsystem on z/OS?

Try this ...

List the base datasets in ISPF option 3.4, e.g., DB2CAT*.DSNDBD.**, and then do a SAVE LIST. It'll save all the Tracks Used info. Add them up to come up with the total tracks used. Remember, for compressed tablespaces, this information shows size for the compressed data. Uncompressed data might occupy more space.

If you want to know the relation between tracks and Kilo Bytes, use this formula (this example is for a 3390 DASD - your model may be different, check with your systems programmer):
1 Track = 48 KB
1 Cylinder = 720 KB
1 Cylinder = 15 Tracks

In z/OS 1 trk = 56K
but DB2 for z/OS can utilizes 48K.
