    Hello, have you checked for any hidden files that may be taking up the room yet not displaying in the GUI.   

    Could you post the entire error message you get from the CLI (make sure to redact any personal information from message)

    Try getting access CLI access via the virtual console from the hypervisor the VE is running on.

    While the GUI may show that you have available disk space overall (e.g. screenshot below), you really need to check it at a directory level via the CLI.

    In CLI I have no access error 'connection refused".

     

    Due to you not being able to SSH to the device, I would hazard a guess that your "/" (root) folder is full. From experience this usually happens when an administrator transfers a BIG-IP software ISO image to this "/" folder (which has a small amount of space allocated to it) instead of /shared/images. You need to log on via virtual console as boneyard said and check file system disk space and see if there are any folders that are 100% full.

    Example (using df -h) command to check disk space

    [root@BIGIP-1:Active:In Sync] config # df -h
