Replication from one server to another

[formis17]

I am using 5.4. I am attempting to move content from one server to another using the replication tool. However, I get the following error upon replication:

Error while building replication content com.day.cq.replication.ReplicationException: RepositoryException during serialization

I also tried to transfer the content via packages, but I got an error in package manager saying, 

"No space left on device"

I saw a post that said I need to clear the tmp folder to correct this issue, but I don't know how to do this.

Any suggestions concerning either of these errors are most welcome!

Thanks!

The replication and package manager uses temp directory. Make sure the temp directory size is always double the size of package and replication at a given point of time.

You can change the temp directory to mount to other drive that has enough space. In order to do that modify the startup script to include [1] to set JVM parameters for path of tempdir and let me know how it goes.

[1] -Djava.io.tmpdir=<hugeemptydiratD>

Is there a need to restart the AEM instance after doing this?

Technically it's not required. But when your system already logged "no space left on device" I would check if the volume holding the temp directory was affected or the volume where the repository resides.
