toolstack-reboot and 100% disk usage. Bad idea
-
Hello everyone.
I had to restart my pool master toolstack, and no way to reconnect to it again from XCP-ng center.
I'm talking about a pool of 8 host running 7.2 xenserver.
After log into the host I realized the /var/log partition was full, so there is the problem. I take from granted that a host reboot should resolve the problem, but as always, it's complicated.
Are there any way to restart the service (or whaever ) to get my pool back again?. A "systemctl restart xapi" or just xe-toolstack-restart doesn't work. According to xenserver documentation, I must free space (done) and restart the host, but this doc was for 6.5. -
Hi,
I'm not sure to get it. Are you using XenServer or XCP-ng?

@olivierlambert Hi,
I'm using xenserver 7.2 (pending migratin to xcp-ng in this pool)
I had to reboot the host, and as espected, it worked, any way, I'd like to know it another option would had worked. -
When the log partition is full, indeed, that's not good. You could have free some space and try to restart the toolstack after that, but I'm not 100% convinced it would have fixed everything

@olivierlambert It didn't work. So I had to reboot the host. Is the same under xcp-ng 8.2?

Hard to tell without knowing all the details. Maybe there's other services to restart, I don't remember
