ISE Upgrade "not enough disk space"

[Paul Marsh]

I'm working with a partner who is trying to upgrade ISE from 2.4 Patch 8 to 2.6 Patch 7.   The upgrade readiness tool gave them a "pass", so they proceeded.  After about 4 hours, they noticed Vmware throw an error, “there is no more disk space available”.   They increased the disk to 1.5TB (I think), and tried again.  Only to get the same error about an hour later.  Any suggestions on how to get around this?   Thanks

Hi,

I am not sure how they upgraded the disk space. Increasing the space of the
VM doesn't increase the disk space of ISE in OS. This requires linux
repartitioning and you start getting in the CentOS part of ISE which isn't
supported. Otherwise, ISE diskspace won't be increased by just moving the
slider of VM disk size.

There is a way of doing it but not recommended. Its for labbing purpose
only.

My suggestion is to backup ISE, reinstall version 2.6 fresh and finally
restore the ISE backup. This should work as you can restore between
different versions.
