Issue/Introduction

This is documentation of a work around when not enough space is available for large ISO installation/upgrade files

Environment

Mainframe Operational Intelligence

Release:   2.*

Resolution

This assumes that LVM2 has sufficient space available for the large ISO files.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Create an alternate iso directory on lvm2:          mkdir -p /lvm2/users/maintenance/iso/

Remove the normal iso directory and files:        rm -rf /var/opt/moi/users

Create a softlink to point the normal iso directory to the lvm2 directory:   ln -sfn /lvm2/users  /var/opt/moi/users

 

Place the iso in the normal iso directory and then reboot the appliance.

 

Clear out any dumps in lvm0 to save some space.
