I was trying to upgrade VMware vCenter (VCSA) to v7.0U3 at my work using the command shell, I got an error while staging the ISO. OSError:[Error 28] No space left on device
If you log into vCSA web interface, you will see this error logged “The /storage/log filesystem is out of disk space of inodes” . I ssh into the vCenter Server Appliance and found out the following:
root@vcenter [ ~ ]# df -h

To fix the issue, you have to increase the vmdk size of hard drive for /strorage/log of vCSA appliance.
- Login to your vSphere Client, select the vCSA VM, Edit settings and increase the size of Hard Disk 5
2. ssh into vCSA server and enter the following command :
vpxd_servicecfg storage lvm autogrow
You are all set now.
