Cisco MARS Disk Space on /u01

brentstackhouse · ‎04-17-2007

Per Cisco doc, I need 3 GB or more on /u01 to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.2.3. diskusage says I have 2.7 GB. Any ideas on cleaning up that partition? Does turning on archiving affect /u01? Thanks, Brent

hi,

i've noticed the same "problem" before upgrading to 4.2.3. (diskusage says 2.7GB too;-), but the upgrade although works fine (after several tries ;-).

the thing with 2.7GB occured after a failed upgrade to version 4.2.3. before this upgrade, i had much more than 3GB free on this partition.

Archiving (to a nfs server) had been turned on long before i run the update (an is still running), but i've still only 2.7GB free on /u01 (currently running 4.2.5)

The Documentation says following to your (my) problem:

"A nightly process runs to clean up any files that accumulate on this partition. If you have less than 3 GB, there is an issue with your appliance that you must resolve prior to upgrading. "

It sounds a little bit mystic and unfortunately it doesn't give a hint how to "reslove" that.

maybe some cisco technician can explain this behavior......

regards,

bernhard

Yeah, I'm hoping the "several tries" part works for me. I've already tried and failed twice. Thanks.

Hi,

same problem here, do I really have to wait until tomorrow to continue upgrade process because of not enough disk space and inability to clean it manually?

*sigh*

Confirm that you read the 4.2.3 part of this doc:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cs-mars/4.2/installation/guide/ig42x.pdf

from this site

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6241/prod_installation_guides_list.html

cli method is the best way to upgrade (and pointing to the DVD with the upgrade files).
