Logfiles from earlier versions

[Mattias_Jansson]

Hi!

I upgraded our checkpoint mgmt-server from R81.10 to R81.20 with cpuse upgrade some time ago.
Today I noticed that there are a lot of files from R81.10 that are using a lot of disk space on the box. 
Are there any best practises on, if and how, they safely can be deleted?

[Expert@mgmt:0]# fw ver
This is Check Point's software version R81.20 - Build 024
[Expert@mgmt:0]# pwd
/var/log/opt
[Expert@mgmt:0]# du -h -d 1
4.6G ./CPsuite-R81.10
3.0G ./CPshrd-R81.10
1.1T ./CPrt-R81.10
195M ./CPSmartLog-R81.10
3.8G ./CPshrd-R81.20
1.1T ./CPsuite-R81.20
686G ./CPrt-R81.20
187M ./CPSmartLog-R81.20
2.8T .

Best to consult with TAC on this.

Hi,

Check this:

Disk space management tools do not delete logs from previous Security Management versions

Thanks for your advices. I think I will go with PhoneBoy here and have TAC take a look at it so I don't break anything.
