Callpilot - Logical drive almost full

[usmcjohn]

I tried to reset a password and got a message that says, Logical drive almost full. Any ideas?

check all your drives to see what percentage of each is vacant.. then clean up your mail before it crashes..steps i take.. any mb not checked for 90 days is outed, remove the forward from the marped set.. set 99 percent of the users to delete any read msg older then 14 days.. unread 30 days.. those two alone may be enough..

here's the burn, when it crashes, and it will when the drive can't function, everytime, it also will not boot and your backup tape will not load.. reload the os and try to recover the cust data, guess what, that file is also to large, it caused the cp to crash in the 1st place.. the next thing nortel will ask is "how fast can you type"

don't waste time on this one

Ok, just checked my hardrives and the D drive is almost full, E and F are about 25-30% or so. Do all the messages write to the first drive, if so what folder? Can I explore and delete files that with an old modified date? I didn't see any folders that were very large and the drive is 32G.

 

[johnpoole]

no, what i would recogmend is changing 90 percent of your users to auto delete.. also make sure your not backing up to the d drive

I am deleting 600 users that haven't logged in during the last 2 months, then I will change the remaining users to delete messages after 10 days. How can I free up space on the drive now? How can i tell if I'm backing up the D drive? Is that where all the messages are stored?

If you have a Nortel_ECS folder, delete it and everything in it. This folder and its content is not needed. The folder is created whenever you unzip a patch. Once the patch is installed you can remove it. Also delete all contents in the D:Temp folder, but not the folder itself.

ok, inside my temp folder there are some other folders named CP8fjfhrk or whatever letter/number combinations. Those folders have some dlls and other files in them they were last modified a long time ago, those are ok to delete?

 

[johnpoole]

not usually, but because it's a temp folder, maybe.. if they are large enough to make a diff, then i would move them and see what breaks./. with the plan i can move them back from command if they are just used during boot-up..

my recogmendation is to buy some more space or police what you have.. saved msg's are killy you, 90 percent of the time, not dll files

What is the CTServer Snapshot folder, is that where the mailboxes are stored? That's what's taking up all the space.
