What can I do with this system value?

You may specify the maximum percentage of used storage allowed in the system disk pool (also known as ASP1).

In iSeries Navigator, you specify the maximum percentage of used storage allowed. If you are using the character-based interface, you specify the percentage of storage to remain available (the lower limit). For example, if you specify 95% in iSeries Navigator for Maximum system disk pool usage, the value shown in the character-based interface for the QSTGLOWLMT system value is 5.00.

When the available storage in the system disk pool has reached the limit specified in this system value, the action specified for When maximum usage is reached is taken.
