IJ49317: VIOD_BKPS DIR CONTAINS TOO MANY LOGS

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Under certain circumstances there might be lot of viod
    backup logs created in "/home/ios/logs/viod_bkps", which
    could lead to /home full.
    There should only be a max of 20 of each type of viod
    backup
    log in that directory.
    

Local fix

  • Add the following 2 lines in the file
    "/usr/ios/fcleaning/cleaning.conf" :
         -   10     - /home/ios/logs/viod_bkps  *.gz
         -    -    17 /home/ios/logs/viod_bkps  *.gz
    

Problem summary

  • The log cycling functions may fail to compress or delete
    old backup logs in /home/ios/logs/viod_bkps/
    This could potentially fill /home.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Correct code so we successfully compress backup logs
    and delete the oldest ones, even during times of busy
    vio_daemon activity.
    

Temporary fix
