Symptoms

 When attempting to download a new appliance kit code version to an array, the error message Insufficient Space is reported and the download terminates.

 

Cause

There are too many other code versions in place.  From the initial release until code version 8.7.5, the system/update filesystem had a 5 GB quota on it.

Up until the 8.7.x code version, the appliance kit packages were around 1 GB in size - allowing multiple versions to be kept in place.

The 8.7.x code versions are larger approximately 1.7 GB - due to the new inclusion of ilom/bios code packages.

 

NOTE: It is a best practice recommendation to only have 2 code versions in place - the current one plus the last previous version.

 

NOTE: As of the 8.7.5 appliance kit code version, the quota has been changed to 15GB on the system/update filesystem.  (This was done through Bug 21970608 - system/update quota is too small)

 

Solution

To provide sufficient space for new appliance kit code downloads it is necessary to remove older code versions.

This can be done in the BUI by navigating to the maintenance system page and under the software updates section clicking on the trash can icon on the right next to the version to be removed.

In the CLI, navigate to the maintenance system update context - execute show - then type  destroy <VERSION> where version is the code you want to remove example:

A7120-06-a:> maintenance system updates
A7120-06-a:maintenance system updates> show
Updates:

UPDATE                                       DATE                         STATUS
ak-nas@2013.06.05.5.1,1-1.1     2016-2-9 22:37:41        current
ak-nas@2013.06.05.6.13,1-1.1   2017-1-26 01:01:32     waiting
ak-nas@2013.06.05.6.8,1-1.1     2016-10-12 16:09:57   waiting
ak-nas@2013.06.05.7.0,1-1.23   2017-3-22 16:57:26     waiting


A7120-06-a:maintenance system updates> destroy ak-nas@2013.06.05.6.8,1-1.1
This will destroy the update "ak-nas@2013.06.05.6.8,1-1.1". Are you sure? (Y/N)

 

In both the BUI and CLI, there will be a verification question - Do you want to do this? - replying y or yes will cause the delete to occur.

 

Oracle support has a workaround that can be implemented contact support if workaround desired.

From the bug the following can be run to increase the space:

zfs set quota=15G system/update
