How to resolve high storage usage in /bin directory on Cisco ACI APIC

[JohnJudi]

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with high storage usage in the /bin directory on my Cisco ACI APIC.(code F1529)

Unfortunately, I do not have access to Cisco TAC support at the moment.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? What are the best steps or recommended procedures to safely reduce storage usage in this directory without risking system stability?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Hello @JohnJudi ,

Can you post the output of df -h command? There could be a mount that has been filled up and reached its quota.

Thank you for your reply.

Here is the df -h output you requested 

This issue is happening on APIC2 and APIC3 in my 3-APIC cluster.

Hi,

It would contain some files which can be deleted. You can perform:

cd /bin

ls -l // to see the files in /bin

Check the files that can be removed, and you can delete those to get /bin into a clear state. I would suggest engaging TAC to perform this operation.

You can use the support link below as a reference:

Sometimes reloading the APICs one by one cleared this fault for me. In most cases only Cisco TAC could help by clearing bloated log directories which only can be done with root access.
