IBM Guardium

Hi Experts,

One collector CLI is only working in Recovery mode due to full disk space. I used the following commands to troubleshoot:

• To check the table list: support show db-top-tables all
• To clean and free up space: support clean DAM_data full_details 2022-01-19 2022-01-20

However, I can't see these details in recovery mode.

Please help with this.

Thank you.

Hi Albert,
Greetings for the day. Hope this finds you well. 

Please note, tables are not the only thing that can east up space. Old Partitions, large message files and few others can result in disk space full. 

support show db-top-tables all will only list the tables and their respective usage. 

You can also run, support show large_files 1000 0 to list all the files on Guardium filesystem that are greater than 1000 MB and older than 0 days. 

Also, please do not run support clean DAM_data full_details until you have archived all the audit data as this will purge the data and result in data loss. 

My recommendations would be:
1. Run: support show large_files 1000 0
2. Identify the large files. 
3. Open a case with IBM Support as you need their help since CLI is in recovery mode.
4. Identify the RCA behind disk full. (More Data, Old partitions, or whatever)
5. Revisit the configurations to see if you can fine tune anywhere to stop this from reoccuring again. 

Regards,
