Hard disk space is consumed fast, how to free space?

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

My IDES took about 20G of space in about 10 days.....What would have caused so fast consumption?

I checked SM37, there were not many jobs at background.

And how to clean up to free some space?

Thank you!

please check the oraarch filesystem size.

Did you off the oraarch filesystem?if not then stop that from sqlplus.

I think that is  your problem.

Don't need this service active?

I saw from other posts, this redo log is important to system.

For now I have redirect the location to another logical drive....

SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest;

SQL> startup mount;

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest='/oracle/D28/oraarch' scope=memory;

At first check what folder/filesystem consumed most space. According to redo log it is important only for critical systems. I think for IDES it may be turned off

trying to archive redo log now

run{

   allocate channel dev1 type disk;                     

   backup as compressed backupset               

   format ‘/oracle/oraarchlogbak/log_t%t_s%s_p%p’

   (archivelog from time ‘sysdate-7’ delete input);      

   Release channel dev1;               

}

and will try following after archiving completed.

crosscheck archivelog all;

delete expired archivelog all;

or

delete archivelog until time ‘SYSDATE-10′;

or

delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-n'

not sure how it will end up....

Are you sure that for oraarch filesystem your drive size is getting low?
