    Description

    For proper SFX functionality, the /exlibris mount must have at least 10% of available disk-space.

    In order to check the disk space, log onto the SFX server, and run:

    df -h
    

    Look for the following in the output:

    ​Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    <>
                          350G  166G  185G  48% /exlibris

    The Use% should be less than 90%.

    Resolution

    1. Log into the server as the SFX instance user.
    2. From anywhere in the server, type:
    server_admin_util
    

     

    1. Choose:
    2 Filesystem maintenance
    

     

    1. Select one of the following options to run a cleanup task:
    1 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/tmp/ (only by sfxglb41)
    2 Clean Apache log
    3 Clean Mysql log
    4 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/logs/
    5 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/dbs/scratch/
    6 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/export/
    

     

    For options 1, 4, 5 and 6, the following is displayed:

    Prompt for removal of each file? [Y/n]
