Symptoms

If the BIG-IQ system is managing a lot of SSG activity, it is possible to run out of disk space in /var.

Impact

BIG-IQ runs out of disk space in /var with an error or BIG-IQ UCS sizes continue growing.

Conditions

This happens because the Gunicorn TCWs are leaving state data in REST storage.

To work around this issue, manually start the Gunicorn TCW purger using the following commands: # export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bigiq_orchestrator # /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bigiq_orchestrator/TCW_item_state_purger.py &
