    Posted Thu February 22, 2024 10:13 AM

    We have two VIOS systems, all the sudden, /var file system full, we can not login via ssh, and can not switch to oem_setup_env.

    in the restrict shell. what is the best step to increase /var ?

    Thank you for your help.

    Wang

    Hi!

    Now I'm getting curious:  Would you mind posting your solution, and also what caused /var to run full?

    I'm not the OP but the viosvrcmd command from the HMC CLI helped me once to access a VIO server which had issues with its rootvg disks.

    I even can not blieve what was happen.

    the console pump up the error message when you type.

    oem_setup_env could not switch to root, no found.

    I just type

    rm -rf /var/adm/ras/syslog.caa.9.Z

    the Magic, got the #prompt

    and got some space in /var

    I know it is after the fact , but had you tried logging in via the HMC using vtmenu to get tot he console?
