File cleanup is required to reduce the /var/log directory partition level.
Cause
No space is left on the /var/log directory. The partition level has reached 100%:

Workaround:
To check the partition usage, type the df-h command at the management server prompt:
Service@ManagementServer:~> df-h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 20G 7.8G 11G 44% /
udev 1.9G 184K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda7 16G 16G 0 100% /var/log <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
/dev/sda8 44G 27G 16G 64% /diag
/dev/sda9 9.9G 151M 9.2G 2% /data
Troubleshooting steps:
- Refer to the below knowledge base article to reduce the partition level: VPLEX: 0x8a4a91fa / 0x8a4a31fb Management Server partitions full or exceeded xx Management Server partitions full
If the /var/log usage remains above the threshold, after following the knowledgebase article, then follow step 2. - There could be more than one issue which caused the
/var/log/folder on the management server to fill to 100% due to net-snmpd.log not rotating properly.
Verify the net-snmpd.log log utilization on/var/logcontext. If thenet-snmpd.log consumes more usage, then you must reload or restart thenet-snmpd log.
Refer to the knowledge base articles to rotate/reload the net-snmpd.log:
VPLEX: /var/log/ filling up due to net-snmpd.log not rotating properly - Check disk space to ensure that the change is reflected:
ManagementServer:/var/log # df -h
