APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When updating Liberty using Installation Manager on z/OS, a
  large amount of available disk space is required for the
  installation directory even if not all of the required space
  will be used.  For example, approximately 125 MB of
  available disk space is required if all assets are selected
  to be updated.
  
  If there is not enough available disk space, a message like
  the following will be displayed:
  Available disk space at <installation directory> is
  insufficient. Total required space is 122.66 MB. Total
  available space is 15.61 MB.
