/usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGSnn folder full

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGSnn folder is full in PRD system.

I had deleted core file from /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGSnn/ work folder and recreated it few days back.

It helped me for few days but again the folder is full. Is there any permanent solution to this problem?

Or can we increase the folder size in HP-UX?

Thanks and Regards

What is the size of the file system /usr/sap/SID ?

Check these notes

6833  - Deleting statistics file, size of statistics file

16513  - File system is full - what do I do?

Go to the  /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00 and check which directory is consuming the most space.

If there are core files in the work directory then delete them.

Also reset the RFC trace files.

Hi

I could find that, folder /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGSnn/log is consuming lot of space and continuously increasing. Can you suggest something. I am not sure to delete files in that folder.

[ashish_vikas]

what types of files are getting generated or large in size in /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGSnn/log ?

If they are Security Audit Log, please see below note :

SAP Note 539404 - FAQ: Answers to questions about the Security Audit Log

(If required by client/security - delete any audit files with transaction SM18 or report RSAUPURG)

best regards

Hi

ls -la show you all files including hidden ones

du -sm *

       -s, --summarize
              display only a total for each argument

       -m     like --block-size=1M

NAME
       du - estimate file space usage

SYNOPSIS
       du [OPTION]... [FILE]...
       du [OPTION]... --files0-from=F

DESCRIPTION
       Summarize disk usage of each FILE, recursively for directories.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -a, --all
              write counts for all files, not just directories

       --apparent-size
              print  apparent  sizes, rather than disk usage; although the apparent size is usually smaller, it may
              be larger due to holes in (`sparse') files, internal fragmentation, indirect blocks, and the like

       -B, --block-size=SIZE
              scale sizes by SIZE before printing them.  E.g., `-BM' prints sizes in units of 1,048,576 bytes.  See
              SIZE format below.

       -b, --bytes
              equivalent to `--apparent-size --block-size=1'

       -c, --total
              produce a grand total

       -D, --dereference-args
              dereference only symlinks that are listed on the command line

       --files0-from=F
              summarize  disk usage of the NUL-terminated file names specified in file F; If F is - then read names
              from standard input

       -H     equivalent to --dereference-args (-D)

       -h, --human-readable
              print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

       --si   like -h, but use powers of 1000 not 1024

       -k     like --block-size=1K

       -l, --count-links
              count sizes many times if hard linked

       -m     like --block-size=1M

       -L, --dereference
              dereference all symbolic links

       -P, --no-dereference
              don't follow any symbolic links (this is the default)

       -0, --null
              end each output line with 0 byte rather than newline

       -S, --separate-dirs
              do not include size of subdirectories

       -s, --summarize
              display only a total for each argument

       -x, --one-file-system
              skip directories on different file systems

       -X, --exclude-from=FILE
              exclude files that match any pattern in FILE

       --exclude=PATTERN
              exclude files that match PATTERN

       -d, --max-depth=N
              print the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it is N or fewer levels below the  com-
              mand line argument;  --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize

       --time show time of the last modification of any file in the directory, or any of its subdirectories

       --time=WORD
              show time as WORD instead of modification time: atime, access, use, ctime or status

       --time-style=STYLE
              show times using style STYLE: full-iso, long-iso, iso, +FORMAT FORMAT is interpreted like `date'

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from --block-size, and the DU_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE
       and BLOCKSIZE environment variables.  Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if  POSIXLY_CORRECT  is
       set).

       SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following: KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M
       1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.

PATTERNS
       PATTERN is a shell pattern (not a regular expression).  The pattern ?  matches any one character, whereas  *
       matches  any  string  (composed of zero, one or multiple characters).  For example, *.o will match any files
       whose names end in .o.  Therefore, the command

              du --exclude='*.o'

       will skip all files and subdirectories ending in .o (including the file .o itself).

What is the size of the FS? can't you just extend it to some acceptable size if it is a repeated issue?

So that clearing file systems everyday will be avoided.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for reply

I have 4096 MB FS,  yes its repeated issue. And same thing I have asked in thread if I can extend FS in HP -UX?

If yes can you help me?

how much space utilized under /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<sy_nr>/data

how much the FS /usr/sap/<SID> size currently configured..

go to /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<sy_nr> and execute below command to check the files with large in size and paste the result.

ls -ltR |sort +4nr |more

If it's a repeated issue, just go ahead and increase the FS size (if you have available space in volume).

For this check with your Unix/Storage team.

Is there anybody who can help me?
