This article gives information on the issues seen with Aria Operations for Networks On-Premises upgrades and how to workaround the issue.
1. When trying to update Aria Operations for Networks via any method (Single click Online via GUI or Via Aria Suite Lifecycle manager (vRSLCM), upgrade fails with Insufficient disk space toast message displayed in Aria Operations for Networks GUI.
Refer to Aria Operations for Networks error screenshot below:
2. Refer to Aria Suite Lifecycle manager (vRSLCM) error screenshot below:
3. Running df -h
command on Aria Operations for Networks platform appliance shows "/" with 11 G available.
Refer output below (highlighted in Yellow)
support@vrni-platform-release:~$ df -h

Above same command can be run on Aria Operations for Networks deployments running platform in cluster but only on platform node1.
VMware vRealize Network Insight 6.8
VMware vRealize Network Insight 6.9
Aria Operations for Networks 6.10.0
Aria Operations for Networks 6.11.0

Aria Operations for Networks 6.13.0
Aria Operations for Networks Engineering is aware of this issue and working on a fix for this.
Once fix is available this Knowledge base article will be updated.
Workaround:
To workaround this, follow below steps to perform a manual clean up of the older extracted bundles:
1. Take a SSH/Putty session to Aria Operations for Networks platform appliance. If you are running Aria Operations for Networks deployment with platform cluster, then take SSH/Putty session on platform Node1
2. Login with username support and run below commands:
support@vrni-platform-release:~$ ub
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release::~$ ls -lrth /usr/share/nginx/upgradebundle
total 8.0K
drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4.0K Nov 2 06:13 6.5.1.1645037705
drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4.0K Nov 2 06:13 6.6.0.1648892975
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4.0K Nov 2 08:09 6.7.0.1656233033
As seen in output above you should see older extracted bundles in your
Aria Operations for Networks
appliance.
3. Run below command for manual clean up depending on the older bundle file name you see in output of the command executed in step 2 above.
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/upgradebundle/<bundlename>
Example commands:
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/upgradebundle/6.5.1.1645037705/
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/upgradebundle/6.6.0.1648892975/
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/upgradebundle/6.7.0.1656233033/
5. To validate if clean/manual removal of bundle is successful run below command.
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$ ls -lrth /usr/share/nginx/upgradebundle
total 0
6. Now run below command to see that Aria Operations for Networks platform appliance shows "/" with more than 14 G.
Refer below command used and output
ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$ df -h

ubuntu@vrni-platform-release:~$
ubuntu@platform1:~$ exit
logout
support@platform1:~$
Once above steps are executed for manual clean up the Aria Operations for Networks upgrade needs to be kickstarted again and should pass the pre check, toast message on UI would not been seen and upgrade proceeds as normal.
