Error : LCM Bundle folder disk space while performing pre-checks during VCF upgrade

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager / VCF Installer

Issue/Introduction

• In the SDDC manager UI pre-check validation during VCF upgrade fails with the error : LCM Bundle folder disk space

• Validating the available space in  /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount folder using df -h command displays that it is full.

 

Environment

VCF 5.2.x

Cause

The partition /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount is full preventing the pre-checks to be successful.

 

Resolution

Note : Take a snapshot of the SDDC manager VM before proceeding.

1. Log in to the SDDC Manager via SSH as the vcf user and su to root.

2. Clean up the old or already installed bundles to reclaim space using the bundle cleanup utility:
python /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-app/bin/bundle_cleanup.py <bundle id>

3. Repeat the command for other unnecessary bundle IDs until sufficient disk space is reclaimed in the /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount folder.

4. Re-run the VCF upgrade pre-checks from the SDDC Manager UI to ensure the disk space validation passes.
