Issue/Introduction

When reviewing the log /var/log/upgrade-coordinator/upgrade-coordinator.log the creation of the local backup failed during the upgrade process.

<DATE_TIME> ERROR task-executor-10-1-workitem-MP-DataMigrationDryRun MPRollingUpgradeServiceImpl 3471 SYSTEM [nsx@6876 comp="nsx-manager" errorCode="MP30459" level="ERROR" subcomp="upgrade-coordinator"] Failed to create local backup on '<NODE_IP_ADDRESS>' node

Environment

VMware NSX-T 3.2.4.1

Cause

This issue can be caused by a lack of available space in the /image directory. The log lines will be seen in /var/log/upgrade-coordinator/upgrade-coordinator.log.

<DATE_TIME>  INFO http-nio-127.0.0.1-7442-exec-8 BackupFacadeImpl 3471 SYSTEM [nsx@6876 comp="nsx-manager" level="INFO" subcomp="upgrade-coordinator"] Local backup Status JSON: {"status":"Failed","progress_percentage":0,"progress_message":"","failure_reason":"Local backup generation failed. Reason: Error Not enough space in /image folder"}

Resolution

Clean up unnecessary files in the /image directory, then try the upgrade again.

Consider removing core dump files in the /image/core directory by referring to KB 345792.

To identify large files in the directory, run the following command:

du -a /image | sort -n -r | head -n 20

 

If you are unsure which files could be deleted, please raise a ticket with Broadcom Support.
