  • 1.  Disk Space Issues

    Posted Apr 19, 2013 01:04 PM

    Hi,

    I'm having disk space issues on our SEPM v12 server. The C drives has 60GB of space but we're were down to less than a 1GB.

    As a result, I investigated and found a 17GB access.log file that I deleted.

    So if I use the SEPM Risk Log Settings defaults (I assume these Risk Logs get written to access.log) and if I use the recommended 30 revisions for 1000+ endpoints, how much disk space on the C drive would I need?

    The content items we have are:

    SEPC Virus Definitions Win32 12.1 RU2 H - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
    SEPC Virus Definitions Win64 (x64) 12.1 RU2 H - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
    Decomposer - 1.0.0 - SymAllLanguages
    SEP PTS Engine Win32 - 6.1.0 - SymAllLanguages
    SEP PTS Engine Win64 - 6.1.0 - SymAllLanguages
    SEP PTS Content - 6.1.0 - SymAllLanguages
    Symantec Known Application System - 1.5.0 - SymAllLanguages
    Symantec Security Content A1 - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
    Symantec Security Content A1-64 - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
    Symantec Security Content B1 - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
    Symantec Security Content B1-64 - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
    SESC IPS Signatures Win32 - 11.0 - SymAllLanguages
    SESC IPS Signatures Win64 - 11.0 - SymAllLanguages
    SESC Submission Control Data - 11.0 - SymAllLanguages

    At the 5 revisions we currently keep, the content takes 7GB.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Steve.

    What's the exact version? Embedded or SQL DB?

    Hi Brian,

    The exact version is: 12.1.2015.2015, and it's an SQL DB, not Embedded.

    Thanks, Steve.

    ...if I use the recommended 30 revisions for 1000+ endpoints, how much disk space on the C drive would I need?

    - For one revision (32bit/64bit inclusive) you will need around 1,2-1,3 GB - this makes around 40 GB for those definitions (30 revisions saved).
