Update from 6.5 to 6.7

[Michel61]

Hello all,

We are upgrading our ESXi from 6.5 to 6.7 version but during the upgrade we have on several hosts a "No space left on device" error on our 8GB SD card which is normally big enough

We don't know exactly why some hosts got this error

So I would like to check the SD card filesystem and maybe delete such as some 'log' huge files before upgrading; do you know what could be deleted and in which folder?

When this occurs, we need to install from scratch the host and reconfigure all vSwitch configuration with risk of errors

Another solution could be to start a powershell script that could generate a complete network reconfiguration script?

The script would be started previously the upgrade operation

Thanks in advance

you can check with "df -h" which partition has which space usage

to backup the config theres a powercli-command: "get-vmhostfirmware -vmhost $esxi -backupconfiguration -destinationpath c:\backup"

Was is the famous Error 28?

Try   https://www.eknori.de/2019-09-01/esxi-6-7-update-no-space-left-on-device/

- Configure to use ESXi Swap on existing Datastore

- If this is not working try to uninstall the Tools (largest part)

Regards,
Joerg

In case you are running an HPE host, it may help to delete  "ams-bbUsg.txt" in the "/tmp" directory.
