vSphere Host Update Utility - ERROR: not enough space on the boot partition

I get the following error when I run the host update utility

ERROR: Not enough space on the boot partition

The boot partition doesn't have enough space to store initrd.img.

Expected free space (MB): 50, found: 44

I can free until you reach the required amount?

Send the output of this command:

DF h

And the version of ESX 3.x

  • The host has not enough space on the boot partition to store the image upgrade. It takes a minimum of size_in_MB. After the release of space or perform an installation from the CD-ROM.

    Hi everyone, the difficulties in trying to update the Update Manager. ESX4.1 to ESXi5.0

    Error I get is below to correct the scan before update:

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    It sounds like this host has already been improved 3.x! In this case you will not be able to upgrade to 5.x using the Manager to update because of the small partition/boot (99 MB).

    to remedy the hosts against a basic upgrade

    ... You cannot use Update Manager to upgrade to 5.0 ESXi host, if the host has upgraded ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x. These hosts have not enough free space in the partition/Boot to support the process of update Update Manager. Use either interactive or scripted upgrade.

  • TouchSmart 610 - installation of windows 8 on a partition, error, not enough space on the system partition?

    I created a 150 GB partition to install Windows 8 so I can dual boot Win 7 and Win 8.  When I try to install, I get a message that there is not enough free space on my score 'system '.  The only thing I can think is that it refers to the partition of 100 MB (reserved) system.  It has only 10 MB of free space.  The partition I want to install on obviously has a lot of space.  Someone had this problem and got around him?

    UPDATE: found the problem with my 100 MB partition reserved.  I assigned a drive letter in disk management and saw a "test.vhd" of 55 MB file.  I recognized as a virtual drive that I had created and deleted a few months ago!  Deleted this file and then removed the drive letter assignment and Windows 8 is installed on my score in 15 minutes approximately.

    Hello meezer,.

    Glad you was able to get installed it. He always seems to be the little things that make us the most problems.

  • Not enough space on the store of data error

    I just created a new virtual machine and the data store has 1 GB free, but when I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get the error ' not enough space on the data error store '.

    What is the minimum data required to power the virtual computer space? I thought that 1 GB is a lot of space...

    That is also correct long as you do not have a defined reserve, because don't forget the size of the by vm vmkernel swap file is equal to the memory assigned to the virtual machine minus the reserve memory.

  • Not enough space on the data store

    I created a VM w2k8 server. I have attached a second virtual drive to it in the vsphere client determined I gave him too much space. I went back in the vshere client and click on delete. Now, when I go to add a second drive with the right amount of space I want t use I get error not enough space on the data store. I noticed that the old file vdmk still exist but do not know how to proceed. It is a 5 ESX environment and the data store is on the SAN. Space on the windows server is listed as unallocated.

    Hello and welcome to the community of VMware. Well I would like to browse the data store and make sure that there are no vmdk files sitting here that, if the other wise not to be there. Have a go at this and feedback your conclusions.

    http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/ESXi40_upgrade_without_virtualcenter.php

    When I lauch the vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0, I have a popup that informed me it must download the patches to enable the fix on a functional level.  Problem is the patches are not download or install.  Did someone knows a way I can manually download the patch and install it?  Here is what says the update utility:

    vSphere Host Update Utility to download the patches from the VMware fix repository to enable the functionality of patch.  You still want to connect to the VMware patch repository?

    Yes or no

    For the upgrade process, you need the full ZIP file for ESXi 4.0.

    Patching is the next step, but the fist you need to do the upgrade step.

    I have a couple of server 08 R2 machines where the P to V conversion fails.  I did some research and the problem seems to be related to the system reserved Partition that has 0% available 100 MB free space.  Conversion fails with the error below.

    VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source computer has not all NTFS volumes. Error code:
    2147754783 (0x8004231F).


    Someone had this problem and came to the top with a solution or to get around?


    Thanks in advance

    Guessed it.  My snapshots Appassure did not also exist with a similar error, so that's what I did to solve it.  My servers now converted without any problem.

    1. Open disk management.
    2. Look at the partition of the PRS and see if it is 100% full.
      • If Yes, proceed to step 3.
      • If this is not the case, check if there are readers who have no more of 300 MB free (minimum requirement to use VSS).
    3. Click a drive, select properties and then select the instant snapshots tab.
    4. Ensure that all shadow copies are disabled and no limit on all players.
    5. Go to the partition of the SRP and assign the B:drive letter.
    6. Open the B: drive via disk management, and then locate the folder System Volume Information. Note: if necessary, change the folder options so that you can view hidden files, folders and drives.
    7. Right-click the System Volume Information folder, and then select Properties.
    8. On the Security tab, click Edit, and then add the group with full control everyone in the folder.
    9. Open the System Volume Information folder (you should see log files are full), open a running as an administrator command prompt and then type the following commands to unload the filter driver.
      • B:
      • B:\>FLTMC UNLOAD AAFSFLT
    10. Navigate to the System Volume Information folder, and then type the following commands:
      • B:\>CD System Volume Information
      • B:\System Volume Information > AALOG_ DEL * (this will remove all of the log files, and then re-create a new)
      • B:\System Volume Information > CD\
      • B:\>FLTMC LOAD AAFSFLT
    11. Close the command prompt window.
    12. In Windows, right click on the reserve system folder and remove the Group everyone.
    13. In Disk Manager, remove the B: drive (and click Yes when prompted with a warning window).
