vCenter 5.5 upgrade to 5.5 up2e

[vAndrew]

Hi,

trying to upgrade vcenter from its current 5.5 update 2c to 5.5 update 2e.

vCenter has 50GB of disk space available, so I run the SSO installer. It detects a previous version and prompts to upgrade. So far so good, nothing pout of the ordinary there. The SSO then starts to upgrade, and takes about 25 minutes. Never before has it took this long with previous upgrades. It finally completes and I try to run the web client installer, but cant as it says (something along the lines of) "unable to extract".

It seems that vcenter now has only 10 GB of space left and is rapidly dropping all the time until there is no space left. It then crashes and none of the services start. If I free up any disk space, it instantly consumes it again and goes back to 0 available.

What is going on? I currently have no vcenter ,cannot log in to it as the services wont start! Never had any issues like this before with an update, this is bizarre!

Any ideas

Hi vAndrew,

Are you still having this issue? If so, which file is filling up the C:\ drive "hs_err_pidxx.mdmp"?

Thanks,
