BES Relay size is getting too big

(imported topic written by Nishant91)

The relay size is getting too large 9-10 GB on the relay machines .There are many folders created in

Besenterprise\besrelay\wwwroot\bfmirror\bfsites

folders with name manymirror_1… have been created.

Is there any fixlet or task by which we can reduce the size of relay in such relay pc’s.

You might want to look at the Fixlet: “WARNING: BES Server/Relays Have Too Many Download Folders”

The odd relay I’ve seen this happen on I just usually uninstall, delete the relay folder and its contents and reinstall. Probably not the best approach but it works in a pinch.

I haven’t had a chance to do any reading on the subject but would you happen to know what some of the possible causes are of that particular relay behaviour.

BES Relay / BES Server Setting: Download Cache Size

I tried it but the affected relay pc is only showing as not reported but it is working on other relays. Pls tell some way other than manually deleting the folders as I cannot manually delete the folders on more than 2500 relay pcs.

some of our TTR are approaching the 6-9 range as well, we run VM’s with smaller partitions so this causes it to stop processing with 0 space free.

We have been forced to do the following above, simply stop the relay service, delete the contents of bfsites and downloads folders.

Also, watch out for that log file, it has reached 4G’s on a couple of our relays.

This came up in my searching as we have run into this issue as well… Seems that the only solution is deleting the relay cache directories …

I created a “policy” action that checks for relay folders over a specific size, and then stops the relay service, deletes the cache directory, and then starts the service again…

Hi! I know the post is old, but is there a similar fixlet for deleting cache on a Relay that runs on Red Hat Linux?
