Summary
As the disk space on the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) internal Flash begins to fill up, the IPS may begin to have issues uploading Digital Vaccines (DV) and Profile updates as well as generating Tech Support Reports and System Snapshots. To alleviate this issue, you may need to perform cleanup on the IPS via the LSM (web interface) to remove old data/files that are no longer needed. You can export these files to a local system in case they are needed later.
Details
Use the following steps to remove files and reclaim the required disk space.
1. Unmanage the IPS from the SMS so you can perform operations from the LSM (web interface) on the IPS.
2. If required, export (from the IPS) and then delete (in the IPS) any old System Snapshots that are taking up space.
3. If required, export (from the IPS) and then delete (in the IPS) old packet captures that are saved on the device.
4. Delete old TOS versions that are saved on the device (you may want to keep one of the old versions).
5. Return the IPS back to SMS control.
