NimbostratusExtending disk space on BIG-IP VE
I have been researching how to expand the storage on K14952, this indicates that the storage of the following directories should be expanded:
- /var
- /var/log
- /config
- /shared
- /appdata
However, it does not detail how much these directories should grow or increase.
What would be the growth recommendation? Is growth at personal discretion?

Hi,
Consider extending /var directory , because it can cause much unexpected issues if there is no free space on /var.
for example by default your ucs backup files are saved in /var also it's rotating files before doing Upgrade.
I saw with one of our customer his units lost it's mgmt connectivity due to /var is full , also sometimes it caused the configuration to fail to load after upgrade due to un-sufficient space in /var.
in general >>> Consider increasing your resource in the first time of creating your VEs.
I see that 10 GB is good for /var >> this is the most important directory to be modified in space.
For other directories set whatever you want and suitable for existing resources in your hypervisor.- LiefZimmerman
