VMware NSX

Resolution

NSX Managers:

• /var/log partition full:
  • Log rotate fails for /var/log/vmware on NSX-T Manager and Edge Nodes
• /config partition full:
  • CORFU /config disk space may grow beyond 20% usage upon upgrading to NSX-T 3.0.0
• /image partition full:
  • NSX-T UI inaccessible and corfu cluster is down

 

NSX Edge Transport Nodes:

• /var/log partition full:
  • The /var/log partition grows exponentially without rotating on a VMware NSX-T Edge Node
  • Log rotate fails for /var/log/vmware on NSX-T Manager and Edge Nodes
