Statrep.nsf doesn't handle a terabyte disk

After we got our new big SAN disk, the Platform statistics form would not open any more. It seems that the stats program handles disk sizes of a terabyte in scientific notation but when it saves that to the field in the document it gets stored as a string. Then the form won’t load due to a data type error in the percent used computed field.

IBM has logged this in technote Reference #: 1155783 and they don’t plan to fix , not enough complaining customers I guess.

For our case, I hacked the form formula and now it works

here’s the new formula for the field

Disk.D.PercentUsed in the statistics report form.

@If(@IsAvailable(Disk.Vol1.Free) & @IsAvailable(Disk.Vol1.Size) & DriveD != “”; Disk.Vol1.Free / Disk.Vol1.Size;

@If(@IsAvailable(Disk.D.Free) & @IsNumber(Disk.D.Size) & DriveD != “”; Disk.D.Free / Disk.D.Size;

@If(@IsAvailable(Disk.D.Free) & !@IsNumber(Disk.D.Size) & DriveD != “”; (Disk.D.Free / @TextToNumber(Disk.D.Size)); “”)))

Hi,

Same problem here. Thank you for the hint, Our error is similar but it applies to Disk.Y.
