Simulator Discussions
I have installed two instances of the ESX version of the 8.3 Simulator and within a few days I run into space problems on the root volume. See the messages below from the console. I have also runto into this same problem with instances installed in ESX in a Partner's lab. It appears that there are logs or some other file(s) that are continually being created and filling up the root volume. The Partner dug a little deeper and reports that it looks like the Simulator is buitl on a Linux image and that it is the Linux image that is actually having a space problem.
CONSOLE OUTPUT:

CRITICAL: This node is not healthy because the root volume is low on space
(<10MB). The node can still serve data, but it cannot participate in cluster
operations until this situation is rectified. Free space using the nodeshell or
contact technical support for assistance.

Solved! See The Solution
And here's the quick&dirty node shell variant:
From the problem node's console:
You may or may not need a second reboot to remove the recovery flag in the loader. If required it will tell you when you log in from the node shell.
After a clean reboot, go back and disable aggr snaps and vol snaps on the root, delete any existing snaps, and clean out old logs and asup files in the mroot.
Try adding them from the node shell
Thanks for the solution. This did for me. Remember to delete the snapshots on the vol0 first, or you will get the database error. Merry Christmas!!
