How to free up the HD1 physical disk space ?
Hello Experts , How to free up the HD1 disk space ? We have 2 volume HD1.1 and HD1.2 , to create a new volume how much free space is required ? How can we free up the space for the same ?

Ok, my Google-fu is lacking today. More coffee needed perhaps. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to add another disk (virtual hard drive) to my BIG-IQ VE. I don't want to expand the current disk... which is what I am finding all of the articles pertain to (and which I already know how to do). My desire is to add another HD (via HD2) to the VE. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys hardware Sys::Hardware Chassis Information Chassis Name Chassis Type Maximum MAC Count 1 Registration Key - Hardware Version Information Name HD1 Type physical-disk Model Virtual disk Parameters -- -- Manufacturer VMware SerialNumber VMware-sda Size 95.00G Firmware Version 1.0 Media Type HDD Name HD2 Type physical-disk Model Virtual disk Parameters -- -- Manufacturer VMware SerialNumber VMware-sdb Size 95.00G Firmware Version 1.0 Media Type HDD It seems that the VE can see the drive... but I can't install to it: root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) install sys software image BIG-IQ-6.1.0-0.0.1224.iso create-volume volume HD2.1 root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys software status ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sys::Software Status Volume Product Version Build Active Status ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HD1.1 BIG-IQ 6.0.0 0.0.1674 yes complete HD2.1 BIG-IQ 6.1.0 0.0.1224 no failed (Can't find requested disk HD2.) I assume I am missing a step here. Thanks in advance! -R

Feels like a bug, since it is simply being upgraded following documented procedure. I'll try extending root.set.1 volume, but not sure if this is recreated when installing the ISO or not. What is the right^W F5 way to get the volumes built the right size?
" VAR space running out and incapacitating the whole device"
Hi, regarding " VAR space running out and incapacitating the whole device".. to the point where device changes its state to "INOPERATIVE" where you can not see license nor provisioning any longer untill you restore VAR space. Is there a way to to increase VAR space , or is there a better way to manage VAR space ? Can there be an alert setup when VAR space would be approaching critical "available space" teshold? If so, how could one approach this solution ( if there is one ) ? Many Thanks in advance Johnunable to install 2nd image to F5 VE LTM but can not resize disk
I have a VE in AWS with two images on it. When I went to install a third I got this error "failed (Disk full (volume group). See SOL#10636)" I deleted the failed partition and the unused partition and tried again. Still received the same error typing "vgs", shows "vg-db-sda190 wz--n- 99.79g 9.71g"...................9.71G is not enough free space but none seems to have been recovered by deleting the second partition. I tried using this article https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K74200262 to free up some space using "lvreduce --resizefs --size -10G /dev/vg-db-sda/dat.appdata" but that fails with "resize2fs: Inappropriate ioctl for device While trying to add group #4096" so I have a VE with one active partition and no way to apparently load any other images........I have similar images with 3 partitions so I am really unclear what is going on. Seems like deleting volumes/partition did not recover any space. Unit has been reloaded a couple of times. Any help would be appreciated Thanks
VCMP Increase /var Directory
Hi all, I have seen K14952 in regards to increasing directories on a VE. I have also reviewed K24156414 regarding increasing the disk space on a VCMP guest, however this seems cover increasing the size of HD1 rather than any of the directories. Can K14952 be used to increase the /var directory on physical units or VCMP guests as well? The use case here is that /var only has 3GB of disk space, so storing more than two UCS files (~500 MB) on the box in addition to the APM clients and EPSEC packages can quickly use that 3GB. I'm aware that best practice is to download a UCS off the unit and I'm also aware that I change the thresholds disk usage alerts via K8865. I'm trying to gauge if increasing /var is even possible or worth it. Thanks in advance!AOM configuration on 3900
Hi, I have an disk issue with one bigip that I'm working on. The recommended action for this is to reboot the divice and run a fsck. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/10000/300/sol10328.html The solution guid asks me to have direct access to the device when doing this. Is AOM good enough? Then I got the next issue. Is it not possible to configure AOM through SSH for the 3900 platform? http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/9000/600/sol9608.html Regards Andréasclean-up storage
f5 BIG-IP LTM VE v11.4.0 ESXi VM 200 gb hdd 16 gb ram Does BIG-IP provide a "clean up" mechanism to reclaim allocated but unused space ? For example, this could be temp files created by various admin console operations, such as loading external-data-files. Perhaps there is a tmsh command ?
