Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Increase the size of the EBS volume for /hana/log and extend the filesystem.
SAP HANA requires that the log volume have sufficient free space to avoid transaction log overflow. The best practice is to increase the size of the log volume. Deleting logs manually is risky, and moving data volumes is not appropriate. The recommended action is to increase the EBS volume size and extend the filesystem.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Take a snapshot of the instance and terminate it.
Why it's wrong here
Terminating the instance is not a solution for disk usage.
- ✓
Increase the size of the EBS volume for /hana/log and extend the filesystem.
Why this is correct
Increasing volume size provides more space for log files.
- ✗
Delete old backup files from /hana/log.
Why it's wrong here
Backups are not stored in /hana/log; this is for redo logs.
- ✗
Move some data from /hana/log to /hana/data.
Why it's wrong here
Data and log files are separate and should not be moved.
