Issue/Introduction

Unable to archive to STAGE 1C0; DMSERD107S Disk E(1C0) is full + VMAARC0099E 

VMARCH does not seems to be cleaning up the staging disk. Both disks are 99% full.

Environment

Release : 2.4

Component : CA VM:Archiver for z/VM

Resolution

VM:Archiver STAGE disks stay at a high % full and VM:Archiver clears off as needed, deleting eligible files to make room for new ones. So, VM:Archiver normally runs with the STAGE/ONLINE storage nearly full. However, in this instance, there was also a DMS error writing to the 1C0, indicating it was at full capacity. 

Recommendation is to increase the size of the STAGE 1C0 disk.
