esxupdate Error during update...low space

[MHUSAIN20111014]

Hi all,

I am trying to update ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.0 Update 1 or Update 2.

I am using the esxupdate utility.

I have copied the Bundle zip file to a directory at required ESX Server. I am giving the following command:

esxupdate --bundle /vmfs/volumes/IDP01/upgrade-from-esx4.0-4.0_update02.zip update

Before that I use scan and stage options. The result was OK.

Then I tried same command for Update 1. It i giving error "no space left on the device"

I made that directory current and start again, now it is giving that error: Error message: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTTPSHandler'

User Guide for this utility says that at least 50MB should be available at /partition directory.

How do I fix this issue. How can I free up some space.

I will be very much thankful to all of you.

Ali

Hello.

There is some good info in kb 1003564 on how to free up space and/or find the larger files.

Good Luck!

Try changing your syntax to this:

esxupdate --bundle file:///vmfs/volumes/IDP01/upgrade-from-esx4.0-4.0_update02.zip update

Try to create a nfs,http or ftp depot and copy the zip bundle in to the location and access by esxupdate --bundle http:// <URL> update.

make sure that /boot has more than 100MB disk space free.

Thanks
