Hello,
Lately we've been getting emails from our appliance regarding our MSDP partitions:
"The partition usage has exceeded warning threshold and will soon reach full capacity. Cleanup the partition and re-check status..."
We usually get these emails on weekends. The interesting part though, is that every time we receive the alert, after a few hours we get another email stating the issue has been resolved. I understand this is because of a delayed cleanup, that reclaims space by deleting expired backups.
I was hoping though there are way to reclaim more space on the partition, and if there is, how much will I be able to reclaim?
I found this article: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH124914, but by the looks of it, it won't help much since the procedure is performed regularly by schedule.
thanks for the help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
You got it right ! what procedure you see in the article it scheduled to run twice a day at an interval of 12 hours. As long as CRQP is happening without errors we are safe.
At the same time, you can do some exercise to find out if you are not backup any data twice in different policies.
Hope it helps.

Hi Gkman,
To add to PatS729's suggestions, here a few of my own:
If none of these ideas help, you may need to look at adding additional Veritas Storage Shelves to your appliances. Judging by the fact you get alerts and then they clear, it looks like your image cleanup is working, but you would appear to be close to your appliances being full.
Hope this helps,
Steve
