Remove the log files from /var and also remove any unused patches and /var usage will fall to a usable level.
For R7.5 the current SP should be installed which includes a script to help keep the logfiles trimmed.

How to free up disk space for Service Pack installation.
If during SP installation you get an error message like “There is no enough disk space on “/var” partition”, you should follow these steps to free up additional disk space.
If you want to free up disk space on “/admin” partition:
If you want to free up disk space on “/var” partition:
1. Remove patching content.
Log in to UCM and go to Patches -> Patches and select one of the three targets:
Service Packs & Deplists – if you want to remove Service Packs/Deplists;
Patches – if you want to remove patches;
Loadware – if you want to remove Loadware file(s);
Select unnecessary Patch Content and click ‘Delete’ button.
2. Clean up backup archives.
Log in to UCM and go to Software Deployment -> Backups page, select backup(s), and click ‘Delete’ button. You can save your backup files on remote servers (SFTP backup).
3. Remove any files from “/var/opt/nortel/patch/sp”. Login as nortel/admin2 on CS1000 and invoke:
cd /var/opt/nortel/patch/sp
rm *
4. Empty the /var/opt/nortel/base/RecoveryCache folder. Login as nortel/admin2 on CS1000 and invoke:
cd /var/opt/nortel/base/RecoveryCache
rm *
5. To free up temporary disk space consumed by patching operations.
It is necessary to clear completed activities in Patching Manager. All ongoing operations on targets can be viewed in the "In Progress" tab. Options are given to proceed with patching activation once patching impact assessment is completed (in manual mode) or to clear completed operations. Both should be done promptly to free up space and allow other patching of any other targets to proceed.
6. Clean up old logs from “/var/log/nortel/old_logs/”. Login as nortel/admin2 user on CS1000 and invoke:
cd /var/log/nortel/old_logs
rm *
7. Clean up two Jboss log folders on the Primary UCM:
“/var/opt/nortel/Jboss-Quantum/conf/quantum-config/securityserver/stats/” and “/var/opt/nortel/Jboss-Quantum/conf/quantum-config/securityserver/log/”

8. Clean up SPS logs (if NRS applications are deployed). Login as nortel/admin2 user on CS1000 and invoke:
cd /var/opt/nortel/sps/LOG/old_logs/
rm *
9. Uninstall previously applied patches.
delete the files as mentioned above. if still warning is seen then the only way we have is to increase the size of hard disk or change the hardware to CPDC
You may also find large log old files in the following directory:
/var/opt/nortel/Jboss-Quantum/conf/quantum-config/old_logs
