HP-UX

Looks like so much services so little disk scenario

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 ).

As the O/P has not posed the backup strategy (and most importantly the number of files involved) you post is not valid. A properly set up Omniback will include a routine purge of records of expired backups.

Ps. I wouldn't use a symbolic link for /var/opt/omni. If you need to move it, it needs to be a mounted filesystem. This is due to errors in Omniback software.

I wasn't thinking about omni filesystem (since it still has space).

Symlink is only a 'put out the fire' measure until proper planing has been done.
I wouldn't advise mixing SAN / local disk in rootvg, hence the symlink.

Thanks Guys .. for all expertise valuable guidance ...

Have found the root cause of the size growth on /var that's .. of ignite dump of de-commisioned nodes ..


Thanks Methyl for useful tips ...and commands ..

Code:

find /var/ -xdev -type f -size +10000000c -exec ls -lad {} \;

The directory /var/opt/omni is on a full /var partition.

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This will delete patches that have been superceded from /var/adm/sw/save/ and likely will free up substantial space.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

Hinted in post #7 but avoided posting commands.
I know what you mean but there is no command called cleanup in HP-UX 11.11 (there was in HP-UX 11.00) .

Anybody know the correct command?
