Upgrading to 10.3R1 . . . but I have no space!

[wimclend]

Hey all,

I'm trying to put 10.3R1 on an SRX210 to do some testing with, but I don't have enough space

Yes I have done 'request system storage cleanup' and 'request system software delete-backup'

Current version is 10.2R2, and I am running IDP (again, doing some testing).  I had this same problem with 10.2R2, but I think I just broke down and used the USB drive that time.

It looks like the reason I have not enough space is because of the IDP, but surely I don't have to disable IDP, delete some / all of the IDP packages (and which ones, I haven no clue), just to upgrade -- and then reinstall the IDP packages and re-enable.

Here's my storage dilemma:

/dev/md1                168M        15M       139M       10%  /mfs

/dev/md3                1.8M       4.0K       1.7M        0%  /jail/mfs

Notice I have 199M free space in /cf/var -- but the 10.3R1 (and 10.2R2 for that matter) image is ~210 MB.

What I can't remember is if I used the 'unlink no-copy' options when I upgraded to 10.2R2, so if there is a 'backup' 10.2R2 image stored somewhere, I think if I delete that i'll be fine.  But lets just say I don't want to go around randomly force-deleting files from the shell

Thanks,

Will

Did you try adding the unlink and no-copy to the command?

Also from what i can see your CF card is small.  The one on my SRX210 is a 1GB where you seems to be way under that.

I think the /cf partition size may be related to the dual-boot partition, which was introduced in 10.0.  After converting to a dual-root partition my /cf partition shows the same 293M on an SRX210.

You may also want to look if you have any images or large files save locally that are taking up space with 'file list'.

[SSHSSH]

If you found that there is no sufficient space , you can upgrade without copying the file to the SRX beofre the upgrade using the below method   

1-run ftp server  ( like : 3CDaemon)  on your pc   & let it point to the directory containing the image

2- use the command :   request sytem software add        ftp://username  :   password@ip/packagename.tgz

 username & password are the same as created at step1   , ip is ip of your ftp server ( Your PC )

the SRX is a dual-root partitioned SRX, I think that probably has something to do with it.

The SRX is just a 210H-POE -- I'm pretty sure the CF is the same in all of them

I can't use the unlink no-copy options yet as I can't even copy the image over

i've tried to load via FTP but get a 'can't fetch' error -- possible i'm fat fingering something, but I don't think so -- will try it again all the same

[wimclend]

well I tried FTP method using the no-copy unlink option, and it started to download . . . and then failed due to space

admin@SRX210> ...me-10.3R1.9-domestic.tgz no-copy unlink no-validate

fetch: /tmp/incoming-package.7287: No space left on device
ERROR: Cannot fetch file: junos-srxsme-10.3R1.9-domestic.tgz

I guess i'll just resort to the USB method for now . . . but thats pretty nasty.

are 2GB flash cards really that expensive Juniper?

FYI, just tried upgrading from 10.1R1.8 to 10.3 on SRX210 and it succeeded just using the no-validate option.  Below is output:

yea I think the issue for me is combination of Dual-root plus IDP taking up all the space.

not a super huge deal right now since its a local test device, but could be a major PITA if it was a remote site that needed upgrading.

not sure what I can delete to make more room . . . as I said i'm hesitant to just go into shell and start force-deleting stuff

Hi Will,

I was having a similar issue with j-series(trying to upgrade from 9.6 to 10.0)...it kept saying no space in cf(even though i did cleanup,remove backup etc)

I tried the ftp method as mentioned in previous post (with no-copy, unlink and no-validate option) But i kept doing this as "root" user it did not work.

I got fed up with this, did a reboot, logged in as another user(a super-user) and tried the command i was able to upgrade. I did not get any error message. Don't know if this would help

Regards,

Haze
