Opened: Oct 03, 2018 Severity: 3-Major
The /var partition might become completely full on the disk due to files being written to /var/config/rest. This condition may be accompanied by console error messages similar to the following: 011d0004:3: Disk partition /var (slot #) has only 0% free Additionally, there may be periodic restjavad and bigd daemons restarts related to disk space exhaustion.
The partition housing /var/config/rest may become 100% full, impacting future disk IO to the partition
Process traffic while DoS Dashboard is open on multi-blade VIPRION systems.
This workaround is temporary in nature, and may need to be periodically performed either manually or from a script. While these steps are performed, the BIG-IP REST API are temporarily inaccessible, and higher disk IO may be seen. Run the following commands, in sequence: bigstart stop restjavad rm -rf /var/config/rest/storage*.zip rm -rf /var/config/rest/*.tmp bigstart start restjavad Manual application of these workaround steps clears the 100% utilized space condition and allows the partition to resume normal operation.
The system deletes all Zip files in the REST root directory so that the partition-full condition no longer occurs.
