Full Discussion: /var partition full need help
Operating Systems HP-UX /var partition full need help Post 302602817 by KickstartUF on Tuesday 28th of February 2012 12:12:38 PM

Unless I am missing something, it sounds like the first step to take would be to run the following:

cleanup -c 1

This will delete patches that have been superceded from /var/adm/sw/save/ and likely will free up substantial space.

Please ignore if I've missed something that was already posted here.

cleanup

cleanup(1M)															       cleanup(1M)

NAME

       cleanup - HP-UX patch cleanup utility

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       The command provides functions useful when dealing with HP-UX patches on HP-UX.

       The command logs all information to

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Preview the task but do not actually perform the requested action.

	      Notify the user of
		     tasks and request confirmation before performing the requested action.

	      Commit patches superseded at least
		     number  times.   This  option  is a front-end to the option of (see swmodify(1M)) that provides an easier interface to commit
		     multiple patches at once.

	      Remove patches in the specified software depot that have been superseded by
		     patches also available from the depot.

	      Specifies whether the software depot contains patches for HP-UX 10.X or 11.X
		     releases.	This option is only valid with the option.  If the option is not specified, it defaults to HP-UX 11.X patches.

	      Specifies whether patches in the software depot that contain a corequisite or
		     prerequisite attribute specifying one of the superseded patches as a dependency should also be removed.  This option is valid
		     only with the option.  If the option is not specified, it defaults to true.

	      Remove HP-UX 10.X patches that remain in the Installed Product Database
		     after an upgrade to HP-UX 11.X.  These patches are removed from the IPD so that they are no longer displayed in the output of
		     the command (see swlist(1M)).  The HP-UX 10.X patch files are also removed from

	      Correct the
		     attribute for HP-UX 11.X patches.

   Recommendations
       The command should be executed after updating to HP-UX 11.X from HP-UX 10.20.  It is not necessary to execute after updating from one  ver-
       sion of HP-UX 11.X software to another because SD-UX will properly remove 11.X patch information from the IPD in these situations.

       The  command  should  be  executed whenever patches are added to a software depot.  It is not a requirement that superseded 11.X patches be
       removed from a software depot, but it is a recommendation to conserve disk space and to avoid confusion.  If superseded	patches  exist	in
       the same depot as patches that supersede them, SD-UX on HP-UX 11.X will handle the situation properly.

       The  command can be executed to commit all patches that have been superseded at least the specified number of times.  The only benefit from
       committing patches is that disk space will be recovered in the

       The command can be executed to insure that the attribute of all patch filesets is set correctly.  There are several known situations  where
       the  attribute  will  be  set  incorrectly.  This command can be run at any time, but will be most useful after a system has been installed
       using Ignite-UX.

AVAILABILITY

       This command is standard on HP-UX 11i v3.  On 11i v2 it is available in patch PHCO_32220 or a superseding patch.  On 11i v1 it is available
       in patch PHCO_27780 or a superseding patch.

WARNINGS

       Extreme	care  should  be  used	when  committing patches.  Once a patch has been committed, it cannot be removed from the system.  Patches
       should only be committed when you are satisfied with their behavior.  Recovering disk space should not be the only factor  considered  when
       committing patches.
