VNXe3200 System Upgrade - Cannot Upload (Not Enough Space)

Hello pogchamp69,

For this error it is best to open a support case as resolution of this error is best done by support.  If your system is not under a support contract then what you need to do is to manually check on each SP for the space of each folder by "df -h" and "du -h", and check if there are any large size files occupying too much space.  Once you have located the file then you will need to run the service purge logs command and it will remove the space.  DO NOT run service purge logs -c --force to clean up space as that can cause data loss and SP reboots.

I did that but there is nothing above 80%...the file I'm uploading is 1.3 GB, and there is enough space on everything shown from df -h. Where does the file get uploaded to when you upload it for firmware update? 

Hello pogchamp69,

When the request size (upload file size) + used size is larger than 98% of total space, the health check fails and throw out warning. If your size is less than 98% it should run but if it isn’t then we would have to look into the filesystem to see what we needs to be removed in order to get the upgrade to complete.

The only file system that's full enough is /dev/sda5 - but unsure how to clean that file system.
