This is caused by the client (or agent) not requesting enough pre-allocated
space in the diskpool for the data that it "actually" needs to send.  We ran
into this on both Tandem clients and SQL agents.  On the SQL there is an
"estimated change percentage" parameter that you can use and it will
pre-allocate that amount of space in the diskpool.  On the Tandem client you
set "objectsize" and it preallocates the space accordingly.  If you are
using an "agent" I would look for something like that.  If it is a B/A
client then you should look to see if compression is turned on.  This could
possibly cause the data that is sent to the server to be larger that what it
was originally calculated at.

Subject: Server out of data storage space


Hello all,
This morning I noticed a node still in session with the server, which just
finished after 9 hours. My first thought is that the switch setting has
changed because the NIC is still set to 100/Full. I need to have someone
check that, but I also found this.
A messag in the client log as follows:
10/03/2001 00:34:27 ANS1311E Server out of data storage space.
The log on the server has this message: 10/03/01 00:28:06 ANR0534W
Transaction failed for session 352 for node CP-ITS-DOMAPP01 (WinNT) - size
estimate exceeded and server is unable to obtain additional space in storage
pool NOTES_DPOOL.
The disk pool is not full, not even close. And let's make things clear up
front, NOTHING has changed on the client or server. I do see the client is
still at a lower level version of 3.1.0.7. I know this is not a supported
client, and I have told them to upgrade, obviously with no luck so far. The
server by the way is AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.1.2.

Has anyone any experience with this. The disk pool is set to overflow to
tape when files are larger than 4GB. No tape mounts were noted. This has
worked fine since the server was brought online a few years ago.
