Error: LCMVRAVACONFIG590095 upgrade fails due to /home partition space in Aria Automation

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• When attempting to upgrade VMware Aria Automation via VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRSLCM), the request fails during the upgrade stages.

• Reviewing the Request Details in vRSLCM reveals the request failed with the following error details:

  Error Code: LCMVRAVACONFIG590095 Message: Failed to check VMware Aria Automation nodes health status. Ensure VMware Aria Automation node is up and services are running

• The stack trace in the error details mentions a health check failure: com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.common.exception.EngineException: Health check...

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.18.x

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.x

Cause

This issue occurs because the VMware Aria Automation node fails its internal health checks during the upgrade process due to high disk space utilization. Specifically, the /home partition on the Aria Automation appliance has reached 90% or greater capacity.

Note: The health check failure can happen for other pre-check as well

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you must identify and clear up disk space on the affected VMware Aria Automation node(s).

Steps to Remediate:

1. Connect to the Appliance: Open an SSH session to one of the VMware Aria Automation node (preferably primary) and log in as root.

2. Run the Health Check Script: Execute the built-in health diagnostic script to confirm the issue and view current node health:

   /opt/health/run.sh
   

3. Review the Output: Look for warnings or failures in the script output indicating free space issues. (e.g., at or above 90%). Run below command to find the partition with disk space issue.

   vracli disk-mgr

4. Free Up Disk Space:

   • Investigate the /home/root directory for large, unnecessary files (such as old log bundles, uploaded ISOs, or temporary backup files).

   • Delete or move these files to another location to bring the partition usage well below the 90% threshold.

5. Verify Node Health: Re-run the health script (/opt/health/run.sh) to confirm that the disk space issue is resolved and all health checks now pass.

6. Retry the Upgrade: Return to the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRSLCM) UI and retry the failed upgrade request.
