vCenter Virtual Appliance System Partition 100% disk usage / space / full

Posted on May 19, 2015 by J

Hi,

I ran into 2 case that vCenter virtual appliance SYSTEM partition run into 100% disk usage full.

The only way to clear it up. Go into the Console of the vCenter, log with the root account.

Go into the /var/log

Check the ldapmessage-date

Remove the log file. Reboot the appliance.
