Operating Systems HP-UX /var partition full need help Post 302602112 by Peasant on Sunday 26th of February 2012 03:29:24 AM

Looks like so much services so little disk scenario Smilie

You should check if you can purge DP database (carefully and planed )
See if you need files like 'OldServerTrace.txt'.

I have similar situation on inherited DP cell manager, with grossly oversized DP database, and no window to do proper purge (constant backups, tape replications).

To properly fix this situation you need some downtime and a good plan.

I would present some disk space (if possible) and make a symlink on most used /var part as an emergency measure.
Also, implement some kind of log rotation ( logrotate is avalible on HPUX porting centre ).

NAME
backup-manager-purge - backup-manager's wrapper for outdating files SYNOPSIS
backup-manager-purge [TTL] <options> DESCRIPTION
backup-manager-purge is the only authorized entity that can say if an archive should be purged or not. Any tasks used by backup-manager may have to know if an archive is deprecated (eg: the purging phase of an upload method). This tool is here to fulfill that need. Given a time to live (TTL) and a list of archives, backup-manager-purge will return another list of archives, corresponding to the ones that are outdated by the TTL. REQUIRED ARGS
--ttl=time-to-live Specify the time to live (in days) for the archives. Any archive that is older than ttl days will be outdated. OPTIONAL ARGS
--files-from=file A file containing a list of archives to parse, one archive per line. If this option is not used, STDIN will be used for catching the files to parse. RETURN
backup-manager-purge will return the list of outdated files on STDOUT, one file per line. ERROR CODES
If an error occurs, it will print the error message on stderr and will exit with an error code greater than 0. Here are the possible error codes: bad command line (wrong arguments) : 10 internal error (should be reported as a bug) : 20 SEE ALSO
