One way would be to use a monitoring application like TSM Manager, ServerGraph or TSM Operational Reporting to be able to store historical data about your database.
This way the monitoring application would be able to predict how much your database will grow and when it will become full. Im not sure wether or not TSM OR can do this. I know both TSM Manager (www.tsmmanager.com) and Servergraph(www.servergraph.com) can do this.

Consider using VB or Perl to automate it a little. A prediction might be good, but to me it is better to be warned when DB utilization is 90% or so, and then schedule a extention of the database? Operation reporting helps you with that and sends you e-mail. When log or db gets full TSM will stop. //Henrik Norita binti Hassan To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Henrik Wahlstedt) MY> Subject: Inquiry About TSM Database Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 2005-05-09 05:34 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" How to estimete % of incremental in my database so that I can do a prediction when to add new dbvol.
