Hi

Are yu running on SAN Storage, your drive E is the shared disk from the SAN Storage then ask yur administrator to increae the disk space from the EVA.

You need more disk space, a 10GB disk drive isn't much for running SAP.

Our system is currently nearing 1TB(1000GB) of space, with oracle cleardown logs runnings etc.

its only been live since August.

Hi,

There are few ways to reduce the used size of the E:\

As you mentiond there are two directory oracle and usr

1)in E:\ go to oracle/<SID>/Oraarach else oracle/<SID>/saparch folder .Take a backup (archive )of all the *.dbf file to your third party tape and delete the files .Dont delete the file without taking the backup

You can alos make brarchive to run periodically

2) in usr/sap/<SID>/DV/data* you might find the core file ,which occupies more space .you can delete the core file also ....and also check size of the stat file defined

3) Lastly Increase the size of the E:\ ....10GB is not all use ..it will more difficult for you to maintain with with less space ..Hence increase the size of the E:\ ..if budget is not the creteriea

Maybe you should add more disk space? 10 GB is like nothing today and the disk space is quite cheap...

Could you move your oracle folder to another drive?

Hi,

You can check E:\usr\sap\SID\JCxx\j2ee\cluster\server0\log\archive\tmp

Here you might find zip files you can delete these old files as

Hi,

You can even check e:\usr\SAP\<SID>\<instancedirectory>\work here you might find dev_w*.old files you can delete these old files as well. You can even delete any core file.

Hi,

Check the directory E:\oracle\<SID>\oraarch if this directory contains arcivefiles than move them to the required destination.
