Looks simply that the disk partitions on the unused set are not big enough.

 

Feels like a bug, since it is simply being upgraded following documented procedure.

 

I'll try extending root.set.1 volume, but not sure if this is recreated when installing the ISO or not.

 

What is the right^W F5 way to get the volumes built the right size?

 

  • Hello,

     

    before Upgrading remove all files that are not used/necessary:

     

    • old binary (iso) /shared/images/
    • check if you have a core file and remove all of them /var/core/
    • remove old epsec (that are note used) - System ›› Software Management : Antivirus Check Updates
    • remove local ucs backup.
    • remove qkview from temp directory. ...
