  • Hmmm, it looks like it's trying to install the image on a USB stick, is there one attached?

     

     

    Also, I'd suggest you license etc. before doing the upgrade.
  • do you have 10.1.0 iso file? if so, would it be possible to try "Removing the EUD (6900 and 8900 platforms only)" in the following sol? i know the sol does not seem to match yours but i think it may help.

     

     

    sol10636: Upgrading to BIG-IP version 10.1.0 or later fails with a 'Disk full' error message

    just my 2 cents.
  • Correct answer, I removed EUD and then installed 10.0.1 per document this worked. It should be noted that all RMA units come with this problem, I was told.
