I ran into this same stupid problem myself. I was going from WCS 7.0.240 ... to NCS 1.1.05.8 ... to NCS 1.2 ... to Prime Inf 1.3.0.20 ... to 2.1! It was when I attempted to patch 1.3.0.20 to 2.1 that it said "oh, hey, there is not enough space here to perform the upgrade". Which was just fantastic, because I started all this using a canned VM and migrating my database into it.<br /><br />To further make my life HELL ... the VMWare server is 4.0.x, and has no idea how to increase the block size to make use of a filesystem larger than 256GB. I tried to attach an NFS mounted file system and 'cheat the stupidity of VMWare', but that didn't work either.<br /><br />Following these instructions, I just added another Hard Drive to my VM in the amount of 100GB. When I got to your steps on adding the drive to the group, it was giving me errors that the physical disk was full or in use. To my utter disbelief (seriously) - the Cisco OS made the right choice of seeing that I had added an empty disk, automatically formatted it and added it to the volume group, and automatically expanded /opt. Wow! We must not have been the only suckers who ended up in this boat.<br /><br />So for others in the same boat. You may want to step up to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 first, and then let it handle your storage addition just by rebooting and waiting. ;-)Steve Ballantynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585614642614904136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503925492290059.post-50127726348388047812014-02-14T18:49:11.151+01:002014-02-14T18:49:11.151+01:00If your getting this error:

I had to add an additional 150GB disk to get the /opt partition to exceed 200 GB (202 GB to be specific).

The official recommendation from TAC is to add an additional 100GB virtual disk, which NCS will supposedly dynamically allocate upon restart of the OS. I am going to give this a try in the lab soon.<br /><br />I am curious what issues you ran into next?mlannoreply@blogger.com
