Hi Craig,

We have seen in the past that clearing the log buffer may be required after having deleted
log:libdt_helper.log. Could you please try doing so:

1. Backup the old messages in the logging buffer to a file on bootflash:
#show logging log > bootflash:oldlogs.txt

2. Clear the logging buffer:
#clear logging logfile >>>>>>> This cmd is needed.

The above method should solve this issue.

Regards

Inayath

Hi Inayath

Thank you for the response, do you mean running the clear logging logfile before the delete log:libdt_helper.log (after taking a backup)

Regards Craig

Hopefully you got this resolved by now.  The error message you are getting for the "delete log.libdt_helper.log" is most likely because you are not in the Admin or default VDC.  You can only delete it from there.  The bug work around is specific on it.

Craig,

clear the log buffer after having deleted log:libdt_helper.log:

1. Backup the old messages in the logging buffer to a file on bootflash:
#show logging log > bootflash:oldlogs.txt

2. Clear the logging buffer:
#clear logging logfile

Hi Inayath

Thank you for the response, I will try the delete command again but the last time I got:

No such file or directory
