Deleting smm.log in /var/tmp for nexus 5596 upgrade

Level 1

I am trying to upgrade a cisco nexus 5596 switch and the system has indicated insufficient space in the directory /var/tmp.    a deeper look into the /var/temp has shown that smm.log file is taking most of the available space. I therefore need help from the community to:

1. understand what smm.log is/does

2. how do i delete the smm.log file from /var/tmp from this 5596 platform?

 About 2) you may try : filesys delete /var/tmp/smm.log

    When the mirror will then always repond to me with ' The only thing that exceeds your brilliance is your beauty! '

Many thanks for the reply.
Is this a hidden command on the platform? I tried to confirm the command but it says invalid.
Filesys command is not recognized or invalid on the nexus 5596.
SWITCH-X3# filesys?
^
% Invalid command at '^' marker.
?

 

 - Did you also try   switch # del/var/tmp/smm.log

the filesys delete /var/tmp/smm.log is a hidden command. I will try that.

thanks.

I tried to issue the command , it says invalid, is this a hidden command on the platform?

 

SWITCH-X3# filesys ?

% Invalid command at '^' marker.
SWITCH-X3# fi?
find Find a file below the current directory

I use the filesys delete /var/tmp/smm.log  (its a hidden command )to clear the smm.log file from the nexus 5596 switches and I was able to successfully execute the install all command.

 

it worked.

Thank you all
