vCenter Server Appliance disk space is fullvCenter Server /storage/log filling up due to localhost_access.log and catalina.log in sso and lookupsvc log directoriesImpact/Risks:
Under default settings, when the partition reaches 75% full of continuous disk use for at least 10 minutes:
- You will see alarms being triggered.
When the partition reaches 95% full at any point
- The operating system will prevent the main vmware-vpxd service from starting to try to prevent file corruption.
Please keep in mind that this does not require it to be at 95% for a continuous period so the threshold might be crossed, shut down vpxd service, and then the use may recede,
Deleting critical files may prevent the vCenter Server Appliance from working.
Resizing vCenter Appliance virtual disks carries the risk of data corruption.
WARNING: Ensure you have a good backup of vCenter Appliance before deleting files or resizing disks.
