Low disk space updating 9200L stack switches

[ezejazz]

I have a 9200L-48P-4X switch stacked with a 9200L-48P-10G. When attempting to update to version 17.09.05, I encounter a "low disk" error on the 1G switch, while the 10G switch does not have this issue. The update image copies to the switch, but when I attempt to boot from it, I get the low disk warning. Any suggestions?

 Use the command

install remove inactive

@Flavio Miranda I run the Install remove inactive but no help.

Chek the flash, you probably have old files there that the command is not removing.  remove it manually.

Reboot the entire stack and re-start the process.

There is 1039429 KB of free space, but only 769784 KB is available. I don't know what is taking up space. I even erased Vram and started fresh.

Post the complete output to the following commands:

dir crashinfo: 
dir crashinfo:*.gz

Those commands don't shows much:

IF these two files are of no use, delete all the files in the crashinfo: folder to free up some space.

del /f /r crashinfo:*.gz
del /f /r crashinfo:/tracelogs/.

I solved the Low Disk issue by installing the Bundle Mode. It's a slower process, but it worked.
