This article describes how to free space in the /flash directory in a NetScaler appliance.

Instructions

To free space in the /flash directory in a NetScaler appliance, complete the following procedure:

1. Open the command line interface of the appliance.

2. Switch to the shell prompt.

3. Run the following command to check the availability of space on the appliance:
   df –h
   If the capacity for the /flash directory is more than 90 percent or very low, you must delete few of the files from this folder.

4. Run the following commands to view the contents of the /flash directory:
   cd /flash
   ls –l

5. You might find multiple files for various versions of NetScaler software release. Ensure that the files present in this location are the ones applicable to the current version of the NetScaler software on your appliance. Run the following command to remove any other files from the appliance:
   rm <filename>

   Note: Remove only the older versions of the kernel. The /flash directory should contain the files that the current version or build of NetScaler software release is using and the kernel.gz file. Do not remove these files from the /flash directory.
