Issue/Introduction

While attempting to upgrade Security Analytics running on a virtual machine from 8.3.1 to 8.4.1, the upgrade failed with a message about not having enough free space in /boot.  

Environment

Virtual Machine running 8.3.1

Cause

The upgrade attempt to copy the ISO to the /boot/upgrade directory during the initial stages of the upgrade.  On a virtual machine, the /boot partition is too small.  

Resolution

  • Log in as root via the CLI
  • Run the following commands:
    • rm -rf /boot/upgrade
    • mkdir /mnt/upgrade_iso (If it says the File exists, then continue to the next step)
  • Attempt the upgrade again
