[Nico_Willamowsk]

Hello,

we have a Problem withe Netsight Database Backup. We got tge following error message, although we have enough space at Netsight Server:

Message:

"Insufficient disk space for Database Backup of 'netsightrpt' to file /usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/backup/netsight_20150420.sql.rpt"

Does somebody have an idea?

Could you run df -h?
It'll output something like this
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/systemvg-root 209G 167G 34G 84% /
udev 12G 4.0K 12G 1% /dev
tmpfs 2.4G 292K 2.4G 1% /run

/dev/sda1 228M 49M 167M 23% /boot

then in /usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/backup/ run ls -lah

It'll output something like this:
/usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/NetSight/backup$ ls -lah

So as shown, our reporting database is 22 gigs, when copying the database, the netsight server needs generally wants about double the space in addition to an extra few gigs of spare space, the database is constantly being written to and no space available may result in a crash.

The normal .SQL file is written. The error is at the .sql.rpt file and that file won´t be written in the Directory.

Does it work if you disable "backup alarm and reporting database'" ?
