Quick fix for a Brocade Fibre Channel (FC) Switch in marginal state due to flash module condition

edited May 22, 2013 9:59AM in Disk/Tape Storage Area Networks (MOSC)

Helpful tip from a Oracle Service Request (SR) I recently worked on.

One of the causes for a Brocade FC Switch changing from a Health to a Marginal status can be easily prevented or resolved.

The Flash Module space exceeding established thresholds due to old, unnecessary files taking up space will cause the switch to go into a Marginal state.

Periodically checking and clearing out files will prevent this.

Same steps can be used if switch is already in a marginal state due to Flash Module space issues.



Log onto Brocade FC Switch as root to execute command below.

#1
Run df command to get an idea of space usage.

Howdy, Stranger!
