[cisco-voip] UCM 7.1(5) - BIG install log file

[Ryan Ratliff]

If you had lots of user locales installed that compounds the issue.  Newer versions fixed by that pointing all the user guides to cisco.com instead of storing the pdfs on the system.

The bug Wes mentioned is going to be your issue.  If you want to confirm take your 7.1(5) and do a fresh install on a VM with a 160Gb disk and compare the raw size of /active to yours.  That's how much free space you will recover when you backup and reinstall/restore.  Consider the alarms RTMT is spitting out your reminder to get it done.

That is the only way to recover your space.

Don't confuse /activelog with /active.  The three main partitions as you noted are:
/active - binaries for active CUCM version (mounts as / on the filesystem)
/inactive - binaries for inactive CUCM version (mounts as /partB on the filesystem)
/logging - all log files including activelog and inactivelog (mounts as /common on the filesystem)

If you looked with root access you'd see /var/log/active, /var/log/inactive, and /var/log/install are all symlinks to folder on /common.

Long story short, getting rid of logs will in no way increase free space on /active.

Saw that bug after the upgrade ☺

I did find 1440 PDF files. To confirm what Wes said, the "Disk/Active" free space remained exactly the same after deleting the PDFs.

Upgraded?

CSCtc99413    Upgrade from CM5.x to 6.x or 7.x result in LowActivePartition DiskSpace 

Older versions used fixed partition sizes so they didn't take advantage of larger disks.  Newer versions (6.1 and later) use percentage based partitioning to take advantage of complete disk.  This usually results in larger partitions for larger disks.

Wes

Sure. Just don't subsequently ask any questions about why something happened during install or upgrade ;-)

This is a very pointed question.  Is there a larger issue at play here?  Like you're running into disk space issues?

Wes
