Smart Console filesystem expansion

[wbberry]

Hello all. 

I am running Smart Console 81.10 and need to upgrade to 82.10. I have been told that there are minimums for partitions that must be met for a successful upgrade. My root partition is 1G over the minimum but my /var/log is about 5G short. running on VM and my server guys say they can give me more space but how do I adjust the partitions? I am currently supporting two 3000 appliances in an HA pair and about to increase licensing to 25 appliances. The new appliances need 82.10 minimum. Can someone point me in the right direction?

That actually would work, just make sure you give it enough space on the new server.

Best way to have enough space on log partition is a good log retention policy. You can increase the minimum free space on the partition on the account of oldest logs and indexes.

Agree with that!

IMHO adding more storage space is a solution to the issue at this point at time, next time it will happen again.

Storage space in logging partition should be set by logging needs (X days of log retention).

Also, IDK if it was said before, since CPUSE packages are uploaded to same partitions, maybe deleting some of the older packages will help.
