VCF Operations for Logs Upgrade Fails Not Enough Disk Space /tmp
This is just a quick blog to cover an issue I encountered in the lab when I was running through some upgrades from 9.0 to 9.0.1 for a VVF (VMware vSphere Foundation) environment.
Like many people the lab environment I use is self funded so fairly small and resources are scarce so most of the deployments are done at the smallest size as we are demonstrating functions not performance or high availability. When I was deploying the lab I chose to deploy VCF Operations for Logs as an Extra Small Appliance and all went well. Where I hit the issue was when I came to do an upgrade from 9.0 to 9.0.1 and as I went through the process I suddenly hit disk space issues trying to upload the PAK file. Now the Logs deployment had only happened three hours before and there were only three hosts and three VMs in the environment at this point, there was no way they could have been generating enough logs to fill the appliance.
