Hello everyone;

After Install Update and Patch For VSP in vROPs we have this alarm:

"has symptom Guest file system space usage at critical level - Guest File System:/altroot

Partition Utilization (%) 99.451 > Threshold (%) 95.0"

I now altroot location for old firmware but how i can remove this old file

note, I Cleaned Sp from "Cleanup Sp file Option" But problem exist yet

Thank You

I don't think there is anything you can do other tan increasing the virtual disk itself.

If this is not working, consider to install the vSP from scratch (a couple of minutes work). Consider to restore the settings from the rescue (backup) file.

I believe HPE 3PAR Support can get "under the hood" to clean it up further. I suggest opening a support ticket.

Hi,

We Also have a a 3par with /common and /altroot/common utilization of 95%.

Upon checking it has a big file on it which is srdatarac.0 with 13gb size.

can we zero it ?

Regards,

Ricky

Is this question also about the SP or the 3PAR itself?
