Hi I am seeing this right now, and I am aware of AVR and APM KB articles regarding this but here its impacting ASM mostly, I cant export policies nor view request logs. Any ideas on what we c...
Hi Andrew,
This was a bug: we were previously using the system with VCMP and then it was deprovisioned from that to a normal LTM with ASM provisioned.
In this change the VMCP leaves behind a /var/mysqldb of size 2GB which is enough for VCMP to function but not for ASM.
TAC asked us to reinstall the TMOS into a new boot location and then we got a new /var/mysqldb of size 24GB.
Cheers!

EmployeeWhat software version are you running? There are a few bugs in APM and AVR that can fill up /var/lib/mysql which would impact ASM.

You could reset the AVR DB and if that frees up the disk space it may help confirm AVR is the culprit.

What's the output of the following? Specifically looking for entries referencing /var/lib/mysql
# lsof -ws | grep -i 'size\|deleted'
David_MThis is on v13.1.x.x
Yes this is a definite bug, we have multiple cases with these.
Do we have a fix yet in a future version?
We freed some space by deleting AVR files and got the usage to 89% but in 4 days its back to 94%
The TAC used these commands to fix the table.
mysql -t -u root -p$(perl -MPassCrypt -nle 'print PassCrypt::decrypt_password($_)' /var/db/mysqlpw) -e 'check table PRX.REQUEST_LOG' mysql -t -u root -p$(perl -MPassCrypt -nle 'print PassCrypt::decrypt_password($_)' /var/db/mysqlpw) -e 'repair table PRX.REQUEST_LOG'- Andrew-F5
DavidMas,
I would still be curious to know what the output of
# lsof -ws | grep -i 'size\|deleted'
looks like since daemons like AVR can hold onto files even after deletion. The only way to remove files listed with lsof is to restart AVRD or reboot.
Best,
Andrew
