1. Re: NSX Host Preparation fails if not enough disk space
latelanzh Jul 28, 2018 12:51 AM (in response to ferdis)Or maybe not enough memory of host, I have fixed the similar problem with memory addition.

It is not safe to continue. Please reboot the host immediately to discard the unfinished update.

2. Re: NSX Host Preparation fails if not enough disk space
shind0chaa Feb 1, 2019 8:53 AM (in response to ferdis)I was in the same place when building POC in someones homelab.
As latelanzh confirmed its just due to low memory, I was using nested esxi with 6GB RAM, up'd first host to 8GB and it worked and tried another nested esxi with 7GB and that worked too.

DonDavid Feb 13, 2019 7:28 PM (in response to ferdis)Yep, adding more memory to my nested ESXi hosts did the trick as well!
