request system configuration database resize

Syntax

Description

You might require to perform a resizing of the configuration database as a result of performing frequent load replacement operations which replaces the configuration hierarchy with the new configuration. When this occurs, deleted objects store in the database, and the memory allocated in the database is freed after the commit is completed. However, during this process the database size on disk can grow although the actual configuration size is actually less.

The request system configuration database resize command provides you with a manual method to resize the configuration database. The system will display Database resize completed when the configuration database has been successfully resized.

Use the show system configuration database usage command to display configuration database disk space usage statistics. The Current database size on disk field will display the change in database size related to the use of the resize command. See show system configuration database usage.
