This issue can occur when the
/tmp
partition becomes full while pulling an image that exceeds the available tmpfs space on the VCH.
To resolve this issue, you will need to increase the memory size of the VCH VM.
- Shutdown the VCH VM.
- Right click the VCH VM --> Edit settings --> Resize memory to a larger value
- Power on the VCH VMhttps://vmware.github.io/vic-product/assets/files/html/1.5/vic_vsphere_admin/vch_compute.html
Workaround:
There are two ways to workaround this issue.
- Restart VCH gracefully so it free up the memory
- Re-deploy VCH using a larger memory size. Either using the VIC plugin or vic-machine create command. To deploy the VCHs using larger memory size following the documented guidelines at Virtual Container Host Compute Capacity.
Note: By default, the VCHs are deployed with 2048 MB of memory unless specified.
