Large amount of files in "Output" directory

[NJK-Work]

Hello,

We are implementing a new NetBackup solution and I was monitoring the backup of our SIM server to make sure things were going OK with the test backup. I noticed it got hung up on the "c:\program files\hp\Systems Insight Manager\output" subdirectories.

Do some investigating I found some of these subfolders have more than 50,000 small files in them. For example:

c:\program files\hp\Systems Insight Manager\output\0000001b78ba21bc0000000a00000898

This directory has 53484 "out" files in it. Is this normal? Is these needed? Can they be deleted? This REALLY makes file level backups slow.

Thanks
Nelson

Hi,

Those files are stdout and stderr results from your jobs.

This setting might be helpful
Stop SIM Service
Modify .\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\mx.properties
and add:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=3
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOB_AGE=7
MX_JOB_KEEP_RUN_NOW_HOURS=8

But You can also delete the files if you don't need the output results

del /q /s C:\"Program Files"\HP\"Systems Insight Manager"\output\*.out

Is there anyway to find what each parameter does? and the number associated with each MX_JOBâ ¦... statement? Can you modify those numbers or not? And what kind of impact is on the CMS server?
