Issue

The following alert message may be displayed if adequate space is not available in the replication log volume.

Details of a Replication Log Volume

Replication Log Section

Metadata Section

Free Space Section

The “log space low” message can appear when the replication log section is full or >90% for a certain period of time. This message will stop appearing once the space is freed up.

Best Practices

  • The replication log section should be sized to 64GB per protected domain (regardless of the number of VMs being protected).

  • The number of vDisks protected should not exceed 500 per DRVA.

Example

If the replication log has been over provisioned, the replication log section can be resized to release free space on the replication log volume (RLV).

Starting with JSDR version 4.2, if the replication log volume becomes full and more space is required, it is possible to create additional free space on the replication log volume by simply increasing the disk size.

  1. Shut down the DRVA.

  2. Increase the disk size from VM → Edit Settings.

  3. Power the VM back on.
