Can someone help me with figuring out how to clear the logs on my 5200 appliance. I noticed that when i run disk info that my /dev/sda3 log is 100% full.
nbuappl01.Support> Disk info
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 548G 61G 460G 12% /
udev 16G 276K 16G 1% /dev
/dev/sda3 1.1T 1.1T 0 100% /log
tmpfs 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /dev/vx
/dev/vx/dsk/nbuapp/pdvol
33T 16T 17T 49% /disk
/dev/vx/dsk/nbuapp/advol
1.0G 476M 544M 47% /cat
I know how to get logged into maintenance mode but im not really sure on how to clean out the logs to release space.
Thanks.

Though its for the older versions, should work with 5200 too. Future appliance release should have CLISH or web GUI options to do so. Hope that helps.

As the appliance is a Media Server you can connect to its host properties and change the log retention on its cleanup tab - this will keep the logs cycled
Otherwise as Kiran says do it manually in maintenance mode

I did have logging set to 5(maximum) on the host properties of the appliance and i just changed that back to default of 0.
How ever after working with support we figured out that I had verbose logging turned on in my pd.conf file on the appliance. Leaving this setting set to maximum I found out can really cause issues on the appliance that make it pretty hard to trouble shoot.
Just for future reference incase someone else notices this all of my backups were sporatically running very slow. Once day a paticular backup would run in 15 mintues and the next would take 6 hours. This was happening to all of my jobs. I had some that normally take 2-3 hours that were still running 2 days later until i cancled them.
For three days i was interogating my network guys on what they might have possibly changed or miss configured.
After clearing out about 1tb of logs the backups now seem to be running at normal speeds.
