How to Clean-up Space on Juniper SRX Devices


I have a pair of Juniper SRX 240 H running in company network environment. Recently it has to be upgraded to JunOS 11.4R5.5 which is latest recommended version. First thing I checked is the available space on those two devices. It seems node0 used 130m more space to storage files based on following command:

Delete these files ? [yes,no] (no)

But still not too much space freed up.
Followed these steps from

"
After the cleanup, if there is still not enough space for the upgrade, perform the following procedure:

  1. Start  the shell by using start shell command on the CLI.

  2. Issue the following command on the shell:
    find -x /cf/var -type f -exec du -k {} \; | sort –n

  3. Delete the files at the end of the above generated output.  Here is an example:
        18256   /cf/var/lost+found/#11136/flowd_octeon.core.1.gz
        19600   /cf/var/lost+found/#11136/flowd_octeon.core.0.gz
    
    The first column displays the file size in kilobytes and the second column displays the file location.

  4. You can also find files, which are greater in than the specific value. For example, the following command will show files whose size will be more than 10MB:
          sh -c 'find / -size +10485760c 2> /dev/null' | xargs du -h | sort -nr

"

% sh -c 'find / -size +10485760c 2> /dev/null' | xargs du -h | sort -nr
210M    /cf/packages/junos-10.4R8.5-domestic
 32M    /cf/var/db/idpd/db/secdb.d02
 27M    /usr/sbin/flowd_octeon_hm
 24M    /usr/sbin/flowd_octeon
 20M    /cf/var/db/idpd/nsm-download/SignatureUpdate.xml

 11M    /mfs/var/run/db/schema.db
 10M    /usr/sbin/authd





Another interesting thing is software backup can not be deleted for somehow even we requested to do system software delete-backup.
# run show system software backup  
Backup JUNOS package information:
File name: /altroot/cf/packages/junos-11.2R2.4-domestic
File size: 145507179



> request system software delete-backup 
Delete backup system software package [yes,no] (no) yes
