How to Reclaim Disk Space in the CentraSite Database
If you want to reclaim disk space in the CentraSite database, proceed as follows:
To reclaim database space
1. Stop the database you want to reorganize.
2. Ensure there is enough space on the database backup location to hold one full backup of the CentraSite database. This space is required because the reorganize command creates a temporary backup while it defragments the database. The temporary backup will be deleted when the reorganize command completes successfully.
3. To check the available free disk space, execute the following command:
inoadmin reorganize CentraSite evaluate
Output from the evaluate command shows the current amount of free disk space.
For example:
INODSI1183: 161.84 MB empty data space found.
The reorganize function uses a temporary backup to defragment the free space. Thus it is a pre-requisite that the space required for one CentraSite backup is available on the backup location. This temporary backup will be deleted when the reorganize function completes successfully.
4. To start database reorganization, use the following command:
inoadmin reorganize CentraSite
5. If the reorganize command completes successfully, restart the database.
