Solution for this issue is to delete files and reboot system or process.

 

f5 suggest restart process:

 

  1. bigstart stop restjavad
  2. rm -rf /var/config/rest/storage*.zip
  3. rm -rf /var/config/rest/*.tmp
  4. bigstart start restjavad
  5. Monitor to see if the .zip files are being created now
  6. if the files are not being created ( should not if we understand correctly the current state ), try failing over to see if under traffic they are being generated

I rebooted the system:

 

  1. rm -rf /var/config/rest/storage*.zip

     

  2. rm -rf /var/config/rest/*.tmp

     

  3. reboot - command from CLI

     

In my case reboot helped. I didn't test f5 procedure.

 

I don't know what caused this issue.
