Need your advice once again MIMB.
One of my sx2000 locations is reporting the hard drive is full; "Winch Capacity" error.
Any advice on what I can do? It's not that easy to look at the hard drive files and see what's filled it up or delete data.
 
Tell me a little more.
What software version are you running and is this on a redundant or non-redundant system?
I've only seen this one other time on a Microlight running Q-stream.
It wasn't really a problem with the software. The drive was just plain worn out.

Most likely what has happened to cause this is the drive has acquired a hard error (physical media error or bad sector).
Another possibility is it was formatted with the incorrect LOAD and REDUND partition sizes.

You can always reformat with a LAB1 qualifier, which I think is still valid.
It is as close to a low-level format as you can get and possibly recover.
However, depending on the age of the hard drive, replacement may also be in order. Even the best of them won't run forever and once they start developing sector errors it's usually downhill from there.

Interesting note, I learned recently that even some of the secondary market resellers are starting to steer their customers to "new" Mitel drives versus trying to squeeze more mileage out of used drives.
 
hello


the first thing to try is a


DBMS CHECK FULL

this will try and clear any system errors


thanks
 
Software 33.3.2.8
The first step I tried was the dbms ch f but it didn't work. Thanks.
It went away 2 days later on its own. Not sure why which is why I'm concerned. It seems something filled up the hard drive and something cleared it? Maybe the hard drive is nearing its end.
Thanks for everyone's input and help.
I love this forum!
 
Is there a chance that Opsman collects smdr? It is possible that it didn't collect it for a few days and the files piled up. do a cat info *.ops next time, you may see some files there. If it gets too bad, you would have to reformat the hard drive.
