/opt 98% full...

[Adrian Sobers2]

/opt is very full. Attached is the output of my du command. I ran the trim system logfiles from SAM and still it is at 98%.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can free up some space under /opt?

Hi,
the only reasonable method to resolve this problem is to increase the size of /opt filesystem (or remove some not needed software)

du -sk * /opt also will include other filesystems like /opt/oracle.

/opt/mx and /opt/ignite are the directories you want to look at for housekeeping.

/opt is supposedly a static filesystem (unless,ofcourse, if you dont install softwares everyday :-). You have enough Free PE in the volume group. I would suggest increasing the LV size. Do u have online JFS installed ?

There are some directory that I would question :
Plenty of oracle some being "old" . Are all these version of oracle in use ?

Also, "inventory" (oracle again) is used when you install the product(s). They copuld be moved elsewhere and you can keep a link otherwise the location of such installation directory is kept in /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc

Sundar,

I don't think we have Online JFS, how would I check?

What is under /opt/mx? I know the /opt/ignite is the Ignite-UX tools that was installed last month.

Also is it possible to just remove things like netscape, mozilla, etc and other software under /opt that we do not use and need. It is a production database server, period.

I tried swremove for netscape, mozilla etc but it does not work. How do you get the exact "argument" for swremove for applications under HP-UX like Netscape, Mozilla etc?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Adrian,
Do you have Online-JFS?
type:
swlist|grep JFS
or swlist -l product|grep JFS

While you check that I will have a look to your joined files

All the best
Victor

Victor,

Here is the output from the commands:

root:INLAND8>swlist | grep JFS
root:INLAND8>swlist -l product | grep JFS

To original post:

trimming logs won't help with space on /opt

/opt is generally used for optinal software.

/var is for logs.

Yes a lot of those Oracle directories on there are actually Oracle Installation CDs. The consultant that worked with us on the Oracle install put on the following installations (Oracle 8, Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i) onto our disk for ease of install and to avoid swapping CDs etc. Since we had the "space". I'm not sure we can afford to do that now the machine is in production. We only use Oracle 8i (8.1.7.4) in production. Come to think of it, I think there are also duplicates on there for difference versions like 8.0 patched and 8.0 base....hmph
