Do you not have any terminal window open on the system?

Can you not login as root?

You need console access. Even when there are no problems you still need console access.

my Server does not it permit the access network and sign serial.

Terminal type is vt220
Trying 200.0.0.99... (stand her)

thanks

Hi,

One reboot shall not clear out syslog.log but infact clear out the syslog.log prior to previous shutdown which is now with name OLDsyslog.log in the same path. If you want to clear both then after boot copy OLDsyslog.log to some convenient place and then null redirect it.

If the size of current syslog.log is quite big then this will give some additional space.

The important thing is to see the contents of syslog.log? It should not be that big indeed.

HTH,
Devender

It sounds as though the whole system is hung and not just one console.

On a D210, set the key to service and do a cntl-b> TC.

This will reboot the system as well as save a dump file that your local HP engineers can troubleshoot.

Ray,

We reboot nightly to clear logs.. Syslog grows until reboot or manual rotation..

/var space allocation may require you resize the volume..

Someone suggested moving the syslog to OLD, this is done on reboot, however if space constraints, moving the old logs will be key to getting your system back up.

Housekeeping is one of the noble truths to Unix adm. zeroing logs, removing old files (like tar,gz, *Z)

I have an N-Class, and one time the GSP Logs were filled, I couldn't reboot through normal processes, I had to crash the system. What a pain. I went into GSP and cleared the log, and shut off auditing, Auditing is one thing that will fill up syslogs pretty quick.

Just a thought or two that might or might not help in your situation

Hi,
Let me understand, your filesystem is full, correct, not the syslog file. In this case a simple reboot is not going to resolve your problem. Reboot does clear the log, but will move the syslog as OLDsyslog before clearing it.
What u can do is to reboot in single user mode, mount the /var and clear it off. Then bringup the system.

Next time onwards ensure that u do a proper and regular monitoring and cleaing of filesystems.

You can download online Server monitoring tools like 'BigBrother' freewares. And also you can make some automised scripts which will take care of log pruging, which runs once in a month or two.
