SNMP for large ASP/IASP

SNMP result for ASP/IASP size and allocation cannot go over 64 TB.
The maximum disk unit size is 32768.

Is possible increase this value to 65536 (max 128 TB) or more?

Thanks


Use Case:

At the moment our iSeries has 45 TB IASP and we can monitor using SNMP.
We plan to incrase IASP disk size over 60 TB and we should be able to monitor disk size and allocation

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with these PTFs:

    SI63661 (IBM i 7.1)
    SI63662 (IBM i 7.2)
    SI63664 (IBM i 7.3)

    The PTF cover letter contains instructions to return the larger block size.

    These PTFs also implement auditing for SNMPv3. Additional information about the SNMPv3 auditing function can be found here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1020901

    IBM agrees with the request and a solution appears to be desirable and feasible.?? IBM intends to provide a solution. However, IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
