If the Appliance Orchestration Manager daemon crashes, it may write an extremely large (~80-90 GiB) core file that consumes all of the free space on the root filesystem and causes the system to become inoperative.
System is inoperative, and only accessible by logging in to the system command line as root: - Tenants are inoperative/inaccessible - System webUI is inaccessible - Attempts to log in to CLI as any user other than "root" fails
Unknown.
There is no way to avoid this issue. Once a system is affected, the system can be recovered by removing the large core file from /var/shared/core/container/ and then rebooting the system. 1. Log in to the system CLI as root and check the amount of free space on the root file system: df -h / 2. If that reports no free space, check whether there are large core files present in /var/shared core by running: du -h /var/shared/core ls -lSh /var/shared/core/container/ 3. To free up the space, remove the large "core.appliance_orch.appliance_orchestration_manager" core files from /var/shared/core/container/
