Does anyone know if we can control the size of the various Grid Infrastructure logs? Under 11gR2 it appears there are 11 logs that are rotated automatically by Oracle with 2 different max sizes:
% find $CRS_HOME/log/`hostname -s`/ -name '*.l01' -type f -ls | awk '{print $7" "$11}'
10579665 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/crsd/oraagent_oracle/oraagent_oracle.l01 10581706 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/crsd/orarootagent_root/orarootagent_root.l01 10591008 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/ohasd/oraagent_oracle/oraagent_oracle.l01 10589986 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/ohasd/orarootagent_root/orarootagent_root.l01 10572636 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/ohasd/oracssdmonitor_root/oracssdmonitor_root.l01 10579512 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/ohasd/oracssdagent_root/oracssdagent_root.l01 10556270 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/ctssd/octssd.l01 52823233 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/cssd/ocssd.l01 10542909 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/crsd/crsd.l01 52737221 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/gpnpd/gpnpd.l01 10569769 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/ohasd/ohasd.l01
CSSD and GPNPD files are rotated at 50 MB while the rest at 10 MB. This isn't a huge deal to most, but I've been given a server to support that has 9.7 GB of space for /grid. This doesn't leave me a lot to play with and I doubt I can get them to add more space. I've already got a cleanup job for those files Oracle and adrci don't handle, but I was hoping that for some of the above I could shrink the max size a bit, so that even once they all have their 11 copies the impact would be less.
MOS doc 557204.1 refers to a max size but doesn't specify how it's set or maintained.
It's interesting that Oracle says you'll need 4.5 GB for the install of GI but I don't believe there's any mention in the doc of the space needed ongoing. Once you apply a few patches (.patch_storage is 2.5 GB now) and run long enough for the logs above to have their 10 copy rotation, 10 GB is a little tight.
