Viprion files on blades.

[Luc_Grisez]

Hello,

I have a Viprion with 2 blades. When I am deleting ISO files on /shared/images they are coming back after a while. I am sure they arent used in any guest. I did the delete in CLI with a rm command.

I saw this in the LTM logs on the VCMP host after the delete command.

Hi,

Start tmsh then

delete sys software image

and tab for the image.

I don't recommend using clsh rm to delete isos. It's good for a chassis reboot though!

I have the same problem and "clsh --slot=all rm -f /shared/images/..." does not work at all.

I want to keep the directory "/shared/images" on a 3-bladed chassis (viprion4800) nicely clean without the unnesseccary files like .md5 and .sig from pasttimes, but somehow the cluster keeps putting them all back ...

How can I safely remove those obsolete files ?
