Running out of /var/tmp space

[Shivkumar]

Hey Guys,

I am installing WLS 7.x on hpux 11i. I ran out of diskspace on /var/tmp.

I have some disk available on other file systems.

Can anyone suggest some work around ?

Thanks in advance.

hi,

2 ways, either u increase space (by adding available space in logical volume or add disk to the lv) in the /var file system or u remove whatever that r unneccessary in /var.

the suggestion is that /var/tmp is not on its own another file system.

use bdf to check the percent used.

regards.

Hi,

1. Try trimming some of the log files from sam -> Routune tasks

2. If you have free space on some other LV, or have a spare disk, create another filesystem and create a symbolic link of /var/tmp to this new dir/fs.

Hi Shiv,

Do the housekeeping first on /var file system by removing system log files. You can use SAM for this :

SAM > Routine Tasks > System Log Files

For safety, do backup first before housekeeping.

The other way around is extend the file system, this possible if you have an available space on your vg00. Check the free PE using vgdisplay command.

OR add the new disk to your system, extend the vg00 and extend the /var file system.

Hope this information can help you.

Thanks & Best Regards,

I have got your query and others replied the correct options . I am suggesting the same

i) Extend the /var logical volume If u have a enough free space at ur volume group and another disk to ur volume group

ii) Using the following command find the bigger size files and delete it if u don't require

#find /var -size +10000

iii) remove the core files
# find /var -name core -exec rm {}\;

iv ) Check for crash files are there in /var/adm/crash and if it's old just remove it
