How to disable telemetry feature on the 5020 appliance
Hello folk,
I want to disable telemetry feature on the NB 5020 appliance.
How do it?
OK - for those who haven't yet patched please do it ASAP!
And here is a real easy fix to clear the files down .. based on the telemetry directory only containing the telemetry files - this is assuming that you just want to clear it down and are not concerned with the call home data stored there (after all it will start to recreate it almost immediately!) This was done under the guidance of support so should be OK
As you made have discovered the rm and rmdir don't have all of the functions of the full SUSE versions so just do this:
appliance:/ cd /var/symantec
appliance:/var/symantec rm -rf telemetry/
appliance:/var/symantec mkdir telemetry
All done - now patch! (cleared 40GB of a N5020 yesterday!!)
Also remember that this applies to 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 versions of N5000 and N5020's and 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.5 and 2.5.1 versions of N5200 and N5220's
Hope this helps
