Hi,
I've just this afternoon built a new test ESXI 6.7U2 host using the latest ISO file which is 6.7U2 build 13006603.
The host has 16GB RAM. I have two disks - one 40GB for the installation - ESXI has allocated some of this to a datastore, plus an additional 80GB allocated as a datastore.
I have told ESXI to use the second (80GB) data store for the swap/cache files as recommended.
I'd like to apply the 13644319 patch, but am getting [Errno 28] No space left on device erros when trying to apply it.
I've placed the following in a script:
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190504001-standard \
-d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient
The output displays the following:
[OSError]
[Errno 28] No space left on device
Please refer to the log file for more details.
So I tried the guide here:
https://nullsec.us/esxi-update-fails-with/
But have had no success:
[root@esxitest:/tmp] esxcli software vib install -f -v /tmp/VMware_locker_tools-
light_10.3.5.10430147-12986307.vib
Installation Result
Message: Host is not changed.
Reboot Required: false
VIBs Installed:
VIBs Removed:
VIBs Skipped: VMware_locker_tools-light_10.3.5.10430147-12986307
Any ideas would be much appreciated. It has suggested removing old log files, but I wouldn't know what to remove, plus this being a new installation, there should not be much in the way of old unused files.
The main reason for wanting to apply 6,7U2 build 13644319 patch is to fix the issue where the web interface crashes when trying to create a VM from an OVF/OVA.
Many thanks again for your help.
