Managing Disk Space for Hosted Content

Overview: Managing disk space for hosted content files

By default, the BIG-IP system allocates 512 MB of disk space to the sandbox for storing hosted content files. If disk space becomes exhausted when you try to upload a hosted content file, an error displays. You can increase the amount of disk space allocated to the sandbox to the maximum of 1024 MB, in addition to deleting any hosted content that you no longer need.

Allocating the maximum amount of disk space for hosted content

You can specify the amount of disk space allocated for hosted content using a database variable.
The maximum supported disk space is 1024 MB.
  1. Log on to the BIG-IP system command line and type
    tmsh
    .
  2. Type this command sequence
    sys
    db
    .
  3. To view the amount of space currently allocated for hosted content, type this command sequence
    list
    total.sandbox.size
    value
    .
  4. To specify the amount of disk space allocated for hosted content:
    1. Type this command sequence
      modify
      total.sandbox.size
      value
      .
      This prompt displays.
      Values: [enter integer value min:64 max:1024]
    2. Type a value and press Enter.

Estimating hosted content file disk space usage

To estimate how much disk space hosted content files consume, you can display the sizes of the files in the sandbox from the command line.
  1. Log on to the BIG-IP system command line and type
    tmsh
    .
  2. Type this command sequence
    apm
    resource
    sandbox
    list
    files
    |
    grep
    size
    .
    File sizes display.
