CirrocumulusHA pair UCS backups - file sizes very different from each other
I've noticed with a few of the UCS backup files I'm pulling from some HA pairs that the file size of one may be larger than the other (50-100 meg) and I'm trying to figure out why. These are ones wit...
Yea I've seen it too. U gotta use the cli to delete them.
Follow this article & Then generate a new UCS and see if it's less size.

- Generate a ucs and save it on /var/tmp/
- Create a folder in /var/tmp/test/
- Move the ucs from /var/tmp/ to /var/tmp/test/
- Untar the UCS file in the /var/tmp/test by running below command
- tar -xvf <ucs-file-name>.ucs
- Run find command inside the /var/tmp/test to see which file is consuming the highest space.
- find /var/tmp/test -xdev -type f -exec du {} \; | sort -rn | head -20
This is will tell you the top consuming file.

CirrocumulusUsing your instructions, I checked one of the VM pairs and found three epsec files (ex. epsec-1.0.0-489.0.iso_41872_1) that remained after I'd cleaned them out a while back. Looking at the GUI, I see only the latest one and haven't been able to determine where the three stray files are "hiding."
