Is there any guidance available on how best to provision disk space for BIG-IQ VE?

I've just managed to secure some more storage for our BIG-IQ instance, however I need to know which folders need the most space to be allocated to allow importing of config from our BIG-IP devices and managing backups etc.

 

Current storage is allocated as follows:

 

  • Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  • 287M 206M 67M 76% /
  • 1008M 40M 918M 5% /config
  • 3G 1.8G 306M 86% /usr
  • 9G 654M 8.8G 7% /var
  • 7G 7.2G 2.0G 79% /shared

I've got an extra 250gb to allocate - I can see /usr and /shared both have a decent amount used already, but I'm not clear where the backups/config files etc are stored once we start using the system in anger

  • /shared and /var are the places where I would allocate storage. The backups and software for installs will all be in /shared.
