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.


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

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 ?

Ricky

Re: Guest File System:/altroot Partition Utilization

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

Hope this helps!
