var partition over 85% capacity

[Ivan Kostic]

Hi everyone, 

I hope that someone can help me!

I have cluster with four NL410, and I joined eight A200 nodes.

I got the event that I need to install driver package (reason: unknown firmware for HDD)

Installation of driver package was stuck after few minutes.

Current status has been standing for several days:

In the same time , I got warning event that var partitions on three NL410 nodes are over 85% capacity.

I listed all files in the /var partition that are greater than 5 MB.

Can I delete some files from "var" partition, for example files with tar extension? 

Will something bad happen if I delete that files?.

Is this safe and normal action for stable and properly operation of the cluster?

Can I cancel the driver installation package until I clean var partition and how?

Thanks,

Ivan.

If you have an active support contract on these nodes, contact support.

If not , you can try this : 

Uninstall your node firmware package if installed, install the latest DSP ( disk fw) , reboot the node that locked up, re-install, try again.

Once the DSP updated all drive, make sure to install and roll upgrade the node FW on the nodes. 

Install

Cheers.
