vmfs/volumes disk space

[vmwARE-NEW]

Hi,

I'm getting below disk space alert.

Alert: Percent Space Used of ESX-SERVER-/vmfs/volumes/1da42872-d2864c2c-7a61-c2107d426404 is now 91 %

Please provide the steps to increase the vmfs/volumes to resolve this alert.

Thanks.

In case this is a SAN LUN, you may increase the LUN size, rescan the ESXi Host's storage adapter to recognize the change, and then increase the VMFS datastore size.

What type is your underlying Storage.. SAN or NAS ?

In case of NAS, volume can be extended from filer end.

In case of SAN, you can do the increase by adding extents(refer - VMware vSphere 4 - ESX and vCenter Server)

This is not storage volume. From the screenshot of our monitoring tool, this is the local server RAM disk.

Is there any process to increse this space to resolve this alert or any maintenance to resovle this?

[vmwARE-NEW]

From the df -h command i've noticed this volume is vfat partition and it is 92% full and the total capacity of the volume is 249.7MB.

Is there a way to create this vfat volume or any maintenance job to increase free space?

ESXi has several partitions which are created during the installation (see e.g. ESXi 5 partitions), and which cannot be modified. In this case I'd suggest you adjust the monitoring tool to ignore the usage.

It looks new to me.

Restart the host if possible. Try if this link - Elastic Sky Labs: RAM Disk Full help for you.
