Cause
The file system partition on the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle Server is 100% ,causing ACM fails to start.
Resolution
Workaround
Free Up Space on Drive by removing some unwanted stuff.
1] Run the command "df -k" to determine which partition is full.In below example we have /home partition reached at capacity 100% full.
[ Note :- Example below you can see that 5 partitions exists including /dev/shm , a temporary file storage filesystem.
This example is focused on /home partition. These steps can be applied to any partition that reached at capacity.]
[root@server log]# df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg00-lvroot 50264772 32637628 15067144 69% / tmpfs 24713544 12 24713532 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 487652 113960 348092 25% /boot /dev/mapper/vg00-lvhome 10190136 9649464 16384 100% /home /dev/mapper/vg01-lvaveska 1849433716 13190972 1742290336 1% /RSA-VIA
2] Identify files/directories consuming majority of the space within /home using command below :
Below example showing that oracle directory (inside the /home) is the one using high space on disk
[root@server home]# du -sh *
40K admin
40K aveska
48K cbangaru
36K cmulcron
20K cyberark
36K dekerman
64K demipat1
48K demipat2
56K echavesc
36K hdcoper
36K ibm_uat
6.7M inhsrv
16K lost+found
972K myaqoob
40K nakbar
9.2G oracle
28K pdintaku
40K pmohatta
40K racharje
12K smuvva
1.9M srmuvva
152K srvcnow
36K svc_aveksaftp
100K svc_cc-chef
16K taddm
3] Above command shows oracle is the directory takes up the majority of the space within /home.
Check all files/sub directories closely inside /home/oracle directory and verify if there are any unwanted sub-directories /files with high usage are safe to remove.
4] Do not remove files/Directories without understanding their purpose. Consult L2 before proceeding.
5] Another option is to extend partition by adding drive.
It is not normally advised to remove files/directories inside /home/oracle unless there is some unwanted stuff.
Because /home/oracle is the important directory where our software resides. You should be quite safe deleting stuff under /home/oracle that might break application. In that case extending partition by adding drive will be the option.
