How to clean up old items in an "external" archive server -
説明
SSB's with external archive server, what is the recommend procedure to remove items from the external archive servers? -
対策
Data that is not needed can be deleted from external archive servers without causing any issues for the SSB's.
The archived logs are simply put on the archive share in a directory structure. If you remove them with their directories, then there should be no problems.
The directory layout is in the format LOGSPACE_NAME/YYYY/MM-DD where you can relatively easily select which days you wish to remove.
If you wish to view the logs that you just removed from the archive share, you won't see them any longer.
Please note also the cleaning of the archive store is not part of the SSB product and is maintained and supported only on a best-effort basis.
Note that the search UI employs caching to speed up its operation when a user is actively searching for logs in some time range. Caching could only cause problems if a user were to use search at or around the time the archive target server is being taken offline. Rebooting a standalone machine, or initiating the takeover on an SSB cluster would ensure that no caching related errors would occur, and also that the SSB would be able to handle the archive server not being available in a graceful manner.
