mds_setup fails to create a configuration export file for Primary MDS

Hi! All,

Am facing an issue with generating the Primary MDS configuration export file using mds_setup utility (from R77.20 to R77.30 using R77.30 migration tools) . It's taking me around 5 Hours to finish and with an error message stating:

=========================================================================

Creating final export file /var/log/exported_mds.7jun2018.tgz

Error: Error creating file

A log file was created: /opt/CPInstLog/mds_setup_06_07_22_41.log

If i try to open the log file created i can able to see the below message only:

I don't think this issue is because of free space concern, as i have root and /var/log/ partition with 100GB & 180 GB free space.

You state you have 180GB free, but how many domains do you have? Have you checed during the migration running what the free space was? When I run an MDSbackup on a 45 Domain MDS I run into 15GB of data compressed between 50 and 100GB uncompressd and when I do not have at least 200GB free space the backup fails

The mirgration will first make a copy of needed files (did you include logfiles?) and then it needs a tempfile to create the actual compressed file. So copy, tar and zip are the steps done, my guess is that you actually run out of space.

Hi Maarten,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, i was running out of free space because of the junk files (like db snapshots).

I cleared all of them and the backup was created within 15mins of time.
