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?

Hey Brent,

Try below:

find /var/log -size +500M

It will search for any files in /var/log bigger than 500Mbs, see whats safe to delete. Make sure to take backup/snapshot before deleting anything.

Yeah, 32 GB is really small for lv_log.

How much drive space do you have in total? You can check with the command 'pvs'. I'm most interested in the PSize and the PFree values. It's possible you can expand lv_log.

32GB could work for /var/log, but when it comes to major upgrades, eventually, will be an issue, for sure.

Just a small correction - SmartConsole is the GUI Client used to connect to the Security Management Server which is where you are seeing the space issue.

Thanks for pointing that out Tal.
