• Running fs-perc mostra un'elevata differenza tra data01 e le altre partizioni:

  avmaint nodelist |grep -i "fs-perc"
   fs-percent-full="37.0"
   fs-percent-full="8.8"
   fs-percent-full="8.7"
   fs-percent-full="8.7"
   fs-percent-full="8.8"
   fs-percent-full="8.7"
   fs-percent-full="8.7"

• Running df -h ha mostrato che data01 aveva una dimensione inferiore rispetto ad altre partizioni, ma era pieno al 37% mentre le altre erano al 9%

  df -h

  udev             18G  184K   18G   1% /dev
  tmpfs            18G     0   18G   0% /dev/shm
  /dev/sda1      1011M   91M  869M  10% /boot
  /dev/sda6       7.6G  287M  6.9G   4% /var
  /dev/sda8        62G   14G   45G  25% /space
  /dev/sdb1       250G   93G  158G  37% /data01
  /dev/sdc1       1.0T   90G  934G   9% /data02
  /dev/sdd1       1.0T   89G  935G   9% /data03

  /dev/sdf1       1.0T   91G  934G   9% /data05
  /dev/sdg1       1.0T   90G  935G   9% /data06
  /dev/sdh1       1.0T   90G  935G   9% /data07

La partizione /data01 è di 250 G mentre le altre sono di 1 TB, quindi questo è il motivo per cui il suo utilizzo è superiore rispetto alle altre. Avamar non supporta dimensioni di partizione dati diverse nello stesso AVE.

Poiché si tratta di un AVE da 4 TB, dovrebbero essere presenti sei partizioni dati (1 TB ciascuna); fonte: https://www.delltechnologies.com/asset/en-us/products/data-protection/technical-support/docu91853.pdf ("Requisiti del disco virtuale AVE", pagina 17)

C'è una nota nella stessa pagina:
"Because the AVE .ova installation creates three 250 GB partitions along with the OS disk, approximately 900 GB of free disk space is required at installation. However, the AVE .ovf installation does not create storage partitions during installation. Therefore only enough disk space for the OS disk is required at installation, and subsequent storage partitions can be created on other datastores"

In questo caso, è necessario implementare un nuovo AVE da 4 TB (con 6 partizioni dati da 1 TB, nessuna partizione da 250 GB). Replicare quindi tutti i dati nel nuovo sistema.

Il nuovo deployment sarà responsabilità del team locale e dei servizi professionali.
