“rpool” has reached over 80% of its capacity and the user has been informed by email.

 

Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2 (optional). Change into Solaris shell (in case you're directed to an unsupported shell)

un sh

 

Step 3. Get root privileges

sudo su -

 

Step 4. Check space

du -h

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

# du -h
1.5K    ./pool
1.5K    ./cups
1.5G   ./secure
1.5K    ./freeipmi
1.5K    ./zabbix
1.5G   ./command
1.5K    ./ipmiconsole

 

Step 5. Find and sort files larger than 30 MB in the file system and proceed with their deletion from the command line

find / -type f -size +30M -exec du -h {} \; | sort -n

 

Step 6. Check for large files inside this folder and proceed with their deletion from the command line

ls -al /usr/local/storage/log/carbon-cache/carbon-cache-a/

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

1.5K    ./log/ha
6.7G    ./log/carbon/carbon-cache-a << here
6.7G    ./log/carbon
512     ./log/pkg/mirror
