Re: how to clean up Omnistack /core 100% used.
That is not something it is safe to be playing with. If you are getting capacity warnings from the system you should open a support call.
While you CAN poke around inside the OVC now, that doesn't mean it is safe to do so. I have no idea what that LVM is used for, and the fact that it is full, absent an alarm, might not be an issue.

Re: how to clean up Omnistack /core 100% used.
Thanks John for the reply.
New case 5337480575 has been logged for OVC - are running out of disk space and they advise below.
recommended to take a backup of the file through winscp, delete the folder which will give us disk space in OVC and recreate it .
I'm hesistant with the solution they provide as it may break OVC VM.

/core is used for dumps in the event of a crash the files gernerated are used for diagnostic purposes and will persist across reboots.
The advice is good these files may be deleted without issue.Not sure if i would bother winscping the files most of them are old and the other logs used for diagnosise will most likely have rotated,viewing the cores in isolation will not give a full picture.
