The storage/core filesystem is out of disk space or inodesLogging into the VCSA via SSH and running ‘df –h’ shows that /storage/core is 100% utilizedPerforming the command "ls -lah" on the /storage/core directory shows log bundles (filenames and timestamps may vary and are included for example purposes only): vcsa01:/storage/core # df -hFilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/sda3 11G 3.9G 6.3G 39% /udev 4.0G 168K 4.0G 1% /devtmpfs 4.0G 40K 4.0G 1% /dev/shm/dev/sda1 128M 38M 84M 31% /boot/dev/mapper/core_vg-core 25G 25G 0M 100% /storage/core/dev/mapper/log_vg-log 9.9G 209M 9.2G 3% /storage/log/dev/mapper/db_vg-db 9.9G 192M 9.2G 3% /storage/db/dev/mapper/dblog_vg-dblog 5.0G 171M 4.5G 4% /storage/dblog/dev/mapper/seat_vg-seat 9.9G 165M 9.2G 2% /storage/seat/dev/mapper/netdump_vg-netdump 1001M 18M 932M 2% /storage/netdump/dev/mapper/autodeploy_vg-autodeploy 9.9G 151M 9.2G 2% /storage/autodeploy/dev/mapper/invsvc_vg-invsvc 5.0G 146M 4.6G 4% /storage/invsvc
Log bundles created by vm-support command and/or by "export system logs" in the vSphere Client are not removed when completed.
This process can cause irreversible damage to files if done incorrectly.If in doubt, open a Support Request with VMware Technical Support!Can fill up the available space on the vCSA causing the web client to become unresponsive and/or not display the inventory.
Take a snapshot of the vCenter Server ApplianceStop the vpxd service by running the command service vmware-vpxd stopVerify the service has stopped by running the command service vmware-vpxd status; you should see "vmware-vpxd is stopped"Remove the .tgz files by using the ‘rm’ command. For example: rm vc-vcsa10-216-08-28-14.17.tgzRepeat as needed.Once this is done, confirm that there is now free space in the /storage/core area by running the "df -h" command: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 /udev 4.0G 168K 4.0G 1% /dev/tmpfs 4.0G 40K 4.0G 1% /dev/shm/dev/sda1 128M 38M 84M 31% /boot/dev/mapper/core_vg-core 25G 173M 24G 1% /storage/core/dev/mapper/log_vg-log 9.9G 209M 9.2G 3% /storage/log/dev/mapper/db_vg-db 9.9G 192M 9.2G 3% /storage/db/dev/mapper/dblog_vg-dblog 5.0G 171M 4.5G 4% /storage/dblog/dev/mapper/seat_vg-seat 9.9G 165M 9.2G 2% /storage/seat/dev/mapper/netdump_vg-netdump 1001M 18M 932M 2% /storage/netdump/dev/mapper/autodeploy_vg-autodeploy 9.9G 151M 9.2G 2% /storage/autodeploy/dev/mapper/invsvc_vg-invsvc 5.0G 146M 4.6G 4% /storage/invsvc Start the vpxd service by running the command “service vmware-vpxd start.” The error alarm should now clear in vCenter.
