Issue/Introduction

When disk space utilization rises above 80%, one or more of the following symptoms may be observed:

  • Some services may stop to prevent a total "out of disk space" condition
  • Pre-check operations may fail
  • The actual application may stop working

Additional disk space may be needed when the environment is extensive in size.

 

 

 

Environment

  • Aria Operations for Networks 6.10.0
  • Aria Operations for Networks 6.11.0
  • Aria Operations for Networks 6.12.0
  • Aria Operations for Networks 6.13.0
  • Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.0

Cause

Aria Operations for Networks Platform and Collector Nodes operate optimally when their disk space utilization is < 80%.  

Resolution

To add more disk capacity to a Platform or Collector node, please follow the instructions at the document Increase the Disk Size.

Please ensure that you follow the steps exactly, and pay special attention to the "Note" references in the document.  

Additional Information

You can determine an appropriate size of virtual disk to add, if you are aware of the growth rate of your disk space utilization on the node.  
 
The maximum number of virtual disks that can be attached to a Platform or Collector node is governed by the Configuration Maximums for the version of ESXi in use. 

If you are unaware of the growth rate of your disk space utilization, a reasonable size would be 500GB (an example). 
 
The maximum size of a virtual disk is governed by the Configuration Maximums for the version of ESXi in use. 
 
Please refer to Configuration Maximums for further information if required.
