vShield Manager: "/" is out of space

[lrichero]

Hi,

"vCenter Operation Manager" shows this alert ("/" is out of space), and from the console of "vShield Manager", and when I run the command "show filesystems" I see:

I opened a support case with VMware. But I haven't get an answer yet.

I've found this link: http://www.vstrong.info/2012/10/29/vshield-manager-stopped-working/

Did someone have the same problem? and have purged the log? How could I prevent this problem, or monitor the free space at vShield Manger?

I don't know how to access the filesystem, like in Linux.

Any comments, will be appreciated.

Hi,

   I would highly recommend not to make any changes in vShield DB without VMware Support for whatever reasons like purging,clearing events/logs etc.You will certainly know the root cause and most likely an upgrade might be recommended to fix this issue permanently depending upon the version.

Make a clone of your vShield server. Use a RH image (I've used RHEL 6.5) to mount the clones file systems to some temp directories. Do the cleanup from there. That works fine.  @

partition 1 = boot

partition 2 = /

partition 6 = /common (where the postgreslq db data lives - postgresql DB bin lives in /opt/vmware/vpostgres)

Hello,

Refer to https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2069358‌ first and verify that you have already had the patch installed (check versions)

-or-

Follow the instructions located at http://vcdx56.com/2015/08/13/vshield-manager-disk-100-full/

If these do not succeed, then you will need to open a case with VMware.

This is a known issue with vSM 5.5.x as a workaround restart tomcat using the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluelane-manager restart or reboot the vShield Manager appliance.

As I've just run into this issue, thought it would be worth adding the known issue is KB2135959

Resolution - reboot vShield Manager.
