Hi,
I am trying to push an ESXi 6.7 upgrade via VUM but keep getting this log (and fails) in vmkernel and the scratch partition is on a SAN datastore with plenty of free space
MemSchedAdmit: 471: Admission failure in path: upgradescratch/upgradescratch
MemSchedAdmit: 489: upgradescratch (289688) extraMin/extraFromParent: 1/1, upgradescratch (289687) childEmin/eMinLimit: 92160/92160
WARNING: VisorFSRam: 206: Cannot extend visorfs file /upgrade_scratch/QEDENTV.V00 because its ramdisk (upgradescratch) is full.
Any suggestions as to which disk/path it is referring to being full?
Thanks
Hi @andvm,
Booting from ISO will work but offline bundle will be easy if you have multiple hosts. You can put the offline bundle in a shared storage and execute the command to upgrade.
Also I prefer CLI as you just have to reboot the host only once.
This issue is only seen with VSCA 6.5/6.7.

Hi @andvm
This is a know issue and at the moment there is no work around.
You need to use offline bundle and upgrade the ESXi using CLI.

Would it work if I reboot and boot directly from ISO image and select upgrade?
Does this bug belong to a specific vCenter or ESXi version?
Thanks

Ah ok will do that way as yes, have multiple hosts to upgrade.
Am listing steps below post placing host in MM.
Yes, the steps are correct.
After the command is run, you will see a message that Reboot Is Required.

Even i have observed similar error while upgrading to 6.5U3 from 65U2.
@nirmalgnair, Does this issue exist in 6.5 as well?
