I have a esxi install 6.5 install on a USB 64GB flash drive on a mac mini that uses iSCSI as a data store on a synology NAS. My scratch files and swap files (in VM directories) are stored on the synology
I am trying to install the latest version and tools (since mine are missing) using this command
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.5.0-4564106-no-tools -dhttps://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
I get the following error
[InstallationError]
[Errno 28] No space left on device
vibs = VMware_locker_tools-light_6.5.0-0.23.5969300
Please refer to the log file for more details.
I am not sure which log to look into
Here is the df-s
