Problem: The database is running out of disk space

Database disk space

Sufficient database disk space is essential for efficient NFM-P database operation. You can also check whether your database backup schedule is adequate. Underscheduling backups while the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode creates numerous log files.

Steps
 
1 

Verify that the database platform is adequately sized. See the NSP Planning Guide or consult technical support.

2 

Verify that the thresholds for disk space and archive logs are sufficient for your network, and determine how the disk space is being used. Contact your technical support representative for more information.

3 

Check the root database backup directory or partition to ensure that:

  • the size of the assigned disk space or slice is sufficient

  • the disk directory or slice is sufficient to hold the configured number of database backups

4 

If the disk directory has many archived log files due to underscheduling of database backups, contact your technical-support representative for information about deleting archived log files.

5 

Back up the NFM-P database, as described in the NSP System Administrator Guide.
