CSCul50066 - Upgrade fails due to lack of disk space in the /common partition

I noticed this has only 1 and 2 star ratings after bumping into this issue myself, so I figured I would help out the original poster and others who are experiencing this issue.
Presumably, the original poster is intending to advise that we read the CUCM 10.0(1) Upgrade Guide, and view the Pre-Upgrade Tasks therein.  These (the bullet points below) seem to be the salient options contained in that section.  I used the "Free Common Space COP file" option to resolve my disk space issue and allow my upgrade.  I found the .cop file in the following download area on CCO:

• Use the Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool to adjust the low and high watermarks to reduce the traces
and remove unnecessary log files. Cisco recommends that you adjust the low watermark value to 30,
and the high watermark value to 40. After the upgrade, you must restore the high and low watermarks
to their original values in order to avoid premature purging of traces. The default value for the high
watermark is 85. The default value for the low watermark is 80. For more information about using the

  • Capture Ended Due to lack of disk space!?

    It says that the capture ended due to lack of disk space, but the capture window says: 586.2GB Total Free Space and 2713.9 min Total free time??? (im using an external hard drive) It keeps telling me it ran out after 9:50mins of capture now?
    I am trying to capture 40mins of film.

    Back up everything presently on the drive, then use Disk Utility to reformat to Mac OS Extended. If the only things on the drive at present are your captured video clips, you're probably better off simply reformatting and then recapturing. Proper format will eliminate the 2GB/9min limit.
    You haven't said how the drive is connected. It needs to be via firewire. Apple doesn't support use of USB drives with video applications, though some folks have used USB drives successfully.

  • I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes.

    I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes. The hard disk was replaced recently in order to gain extra memory. Is there some sort of limit set up from the original hard drive causing this problem?

    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    If Disk First aid is unable to complete the repair you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

  • How can I select the minimum size of Elements 10? It won't install due to lack of disk space on C:

    I have just purchased and downloaded Elements 10. Can't install it due to insufficient disk space on my C drive. I have enough space on my D drive, but it will not install there, probably because my sustem files are on C drive. The Install wisard does not provide for a selection of the size of Elements 10. Is there a way to select the minimum size? If so, how can I do this?

    There is not an option to customize the installation.  The system requirements for Photoshop Elements 10 request that you at least have 4 gigabytes free, plus more for installation, how much free space do you have on your C drive?

  • T440s windows 10 upgrade failed due to lack of Lenovo driver for ac-7260

    Anyone know when or where Lenovo will release / has released a windows 10 compatible driver for the Intel Wireless ac-7260 wifi adapter (mine is in my T440S)? Currently it's not possible to upgrade because the wifi adapter fails to operate correctly and I can find no update from Lenovo for my notebook and the ac-7260 adapter on the site that supports windows 10.     I also tried the Intel "generic" drivers but that failed to resolve the problem. I tried many things and just could not get it to work for many different reasons that all boiled down to the adapter driver failing to work and giving errors or simply not working at all. Now  that Windows 10 is released surely Lenovo has an adapter driver somewhere for it? 

    RESOLVED: Turns out I had an "Array networks" SSL VPN client installed as part of my Softlayer ISP's remote desktop package, not Cisco at all but caused the same exact problem. I had to uninstall it completely and have since found out it doesn't work at all with Windows 10 and there is no timeframe to have it updated and Array networks or maybe just Softlayer apparently haven't gone out of their way to inform the public. Thank you guys for your help and I hope others in future will benefit from this post.

  • Capture ended due to lack of disc space

    I am currently trying to capture a large amount of footage into FCE from 6 separate mini DV tapes. I captured the footage from the first tape ok but half way through the second tape capture stopped and an error message occurred saying disk space full. I went into system settings and changed the scratch disc to my 750gb external hard drive. When I resumed capture now the next 9 mins, 25secs and 5 frames captured ok then it stopped again with the message saying "capture has been ended due to lack of disk space". However, my hard drive says there is 670.9 total free space. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? I am now capturing just 9 mins, 25secs and 5 frames at a time.
    Thanks

    That's your problem.
    Your HD is formatted for Windows - many are when you get them.
    You need to reformat it (which will wipe off anything already on it).
    You use Disk Utility which is kept in the Utilities Folder in your Applications Folder.

  • Lack of disk space using "Capture Now"

    aright here's the situaton.. evry time i capture footage using "Capture Now" it captures it for a while and then just stops and a window pops up saying: capturing ended due to lack of disk space.
    How can i fix this?

    I'm thinking it might be closer to...
    1) Set a limit on Capture Now. Never have that box unchecked. Set it to 60 min if you want the whole tape.
    2) Do not under any circumstances run any anti-virus/filesaver software. Including Norton and Virex. Sure, Apple doles out Virex for free, but FCP doesn't cooperate with it very well.
    If you absolutely feel you must keep Virex installed on your system then use Kevin's script to shut it off before you use FCP:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?[email protected]@.68a85d17
    3) Do not capture to your main system drive.
    4) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mas OS Extended, jornalling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
    Good luck,

  • I can't backup my phone due to lack of free space

    I can't backup my phone due to lack of free space on my computer.  How do I resolve?  I just purchased a MacBook Air and I didn't have this issue on my old MacBook.

    If the free disk space on your Mac is too small to backup and your iPhone then it has too little free space to run properly.
    You need to start doing some removal of data to free up space on the disk drive. The data can be either deleted or moved to another disk drive. what ever you do leave the system files alone and work with the files in your Home directory only.
    The first thin you need to do is to make sure you have a backup of the Mac first.

  • Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc?  I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

    Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc?  I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

    Are you talking about restore of the iPhone from its backup, or something else? The first time you sync an iOS device on each calendar day iTunes will update the backup set for the device. If you remove data from the device and backup, then the backup of that data has gone. For this reason it actually makes sense to restore an iOS device periodically as, once used for a restore, the backup set is archived and a new one created.
    Ideally you would have backed up these pictures somewhere. If you enabled it, you may find pictures in your Photo Stream.
    In general you need to keep a backup copy of all your important files. iTunes will let you download most past purchases from the store but backing up other content is down to you. The user  Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to do this for iTunes, but the same tool can be used to preserve other folders of data.

  • There is no more space for virtual disk ServerName_2.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session.   Time: 30/05/2014 1:16:20 AM

    Recently, our mail server crashed at about 7pm one night, with the error 'There is no more space for virtual disk ServerName_2.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session.'
    When we click Retry, the server starts up OK.
    There are no snapshots listed in Snapshot manager for any of the virtual machines on the host.
    There is also free disk space available on the host and for the VM with the disk errors.
    This happened at least three more times, often at bad times. Each time, we were able to click 'Retry' and the disk/system would allow the VM to start-up successfully.
    I checked the Forums, the VMware support articles and the internet as I had not seen this problem before. I have completed the VSphere 5.1 - Fast Track course and this issue was NOT covered in the training.
    Most of the advice on-line and even that on the VMware web-site was pointing to snapshots being the cause of this issue. There are no snapshots enabled and I cannot see evidence of snapshots ever being used.
    - We are running VMware vsphere (5.1.0) and there are (were) 4 virtual machines running on the ESX host. We are using the free version of VMware/ESXi.
    - The Hard disk types we are using for this Virtual Machine are 'Thin Provisioned'.
    - There are 4 [Thin Provisioned] Hard Disks for this virtual machine.
    - There are 6 CPUs
    - There is 20GB of RAM (memory)
    - The VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 as the guest/VM operating system. It is an Exchange 2010 SP1 mail server. There is plenty of available disk space on all the drives. The [Exchange] log files are cleaned out regularly (automated).
    I decided to move one of our non-critical servers off this host and on to another host to see if this helped the problem. This took quite some time, as we are not using HA or vmotion, nor do we have VCenter Server...nonetheless, I finally managed to get the non-critical server on to another host (n.b. This was a much smaller machine with less virtual resources assigned to it).
    After moving the non-critical server off this host, we decided to monitor the Host and see if the issue resolved itself.
    I checked the host about 6-10 times a day, from first thing in the morning till last thing at night - monitoring the performance of not only the Virtual Machine, but the ESXi host also.
    There were no adverse performance issues. The only thing I did note, was in the Summary page on the ESX Host, under Storage, was If I right-clicked on the datastore and clicked refresh, then the free disk space would drop (ie from 140GB to 125GB).
    After monitoring the host and VM for about 2 weeks, we did NOT have another instance of the above error.
    Sorry for the long winded post, but I wanted to give as much detail given this error has been raised before and snapshots are usually blamed as the cause.
    My question is this:
    If the ESX host had plenty of available disk capacity and there were no snapshots enabled on the VM (or any other VM's on the same host), then why did our Virtual machine crash with the error that 'there is not more space for virtual disk Servername_2.vmdk'?
    How do we prevent this issue from happening if we don't know the underlying cause?
    I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
    If I have not provided enough info on the specs or environment, please let me know and I will provide more information.
    Thanks all,
    Kurt

    The type of storage is really based on your requirements, and your ability to withstand downtime.
    iSCSI as you are using with a NAS such as Synology or QNAP.  NAS Selector - Support - Synology - Network Attached Storage (NAS)
    I wouldn't use iSCSI for Exchange or any database.  It's a bit slow.
    Do you have a single physical host?  Then I'd probably to an external direct attached storage.  This would be a card inserted in your host server that gives you multilane SAS/SATA connectivity (www.techcable.com/SAS-SATA/SAS-SATA.pps) and an external disk enclosure/array.
    For multiple hosts to a single array, I recommend a fibre channel connection to a FC capable switch, and on to a FC connected array.
    We used to use a HP P2000 (on old G1), but it's since been retired.  Worked pretty well once firmware was upgraded.  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/disk-storage/product-detail.html?oid=4118559#!tab=features.  They can be connected via iSCSI, Fibre Channel or 6GB SAS so they are flexible and reasonably priced.
    Recommendations:
         Use RAID 6 with your large disk arrays.  With large disks there is a measurable failure rate when rebuilding a failed RAID5 array based on MTBF.
         Use smaller 15K disks in RAID 0+1 for speed on databases/Exchange.
         Use slower 7.2K disks in RAID6 for file storage.
    We are a small hospital and we have 3 VMware servers with dual CNA (FC and Ethernet in a single twinax cable) connections to 2 redundant Cisco Nexus 5K switches and then 4 Fibre Channel connections to an EMC VNX 5300.  It's extremely fast with about 50 virtual servers, but was quite an investment.  One thing we don't have to worry about is down time.  If there ever is an equipment failure, we have redundant everything, including power split between two UPSs.
    Our VNX has 3 tiers of performance.  3 100GB SSD "Fast Cache" in RAID 1 with hot spare, to keep the most used data ready, but it's not really a tier, however one could be built utilizing the same disks.  A second tier is performance tier with a 8 600GB RAID 0+1 and hot spare.  The third is a bunch of 7.2K 3TB disks in RAID6.  The VNX autotiers, placing data on disks depending on where it's needed.  The volumes are sliced and diced automatically in the background to make this happen and we never have to touch it.  I used a demo of Solarwinds Storage Manager to monitor performance for a while and the utilization was always low, meaning all data access was fast, througout the day.

  • I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

    I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

    That's easy.
    2 methods:
    1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
    2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
    The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive.

  • DPM is out of disk space for the replica

    Trying to make a bare metal backup of a phyiscal server running 2008 R2 SP1 . I've checked im not out of space. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the agent, I've manually tried to make the disk allocation larger same error.
     DPM is out of disk space for the replica. (ID 58 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FF)
    This is in the event log on the Client machine
    The backup operation attempted  has failed to start, error code '2155348040' (There is not enough free space on the backup storage location to back up the data.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once
    the issue is resolved.
    I have several other machines doing bare metal backups they are virtual but I can't see why that would be any different. They have no problems doing this. I have seen hacks on the internet editing xml files to get this to work changing allcritical to "C:".
    I'd like an actual fix for this please?

    Mike quick question. How can I determine which share my particular server is using to backup to? Here is what I get when I try to do a DIR on the folder as system
    C:\Windows\system32>whoami
    nt authority\system
    C:\Windows\system32>dir
    \\kdnap-util1\0ae3c77eaab54ea09b0724737a125f48
    Access is denied.
    C:\Windows\system32>dir
    \\kdnap-util1\12068c1992634c92addf44bfbee5cada
    Access is denied.
    I was just trying to poke around to browse the folder to see which one to back it up to . But with the access denied error this isn't helpful :)
    Here is my list of shares
    C:\Windows\system32>net view \\kdnap-util1
    Shared resources at \\kdnap-util1
    I also tried doing a DIR from a server that is backing up correctly on any of those shares listed above after running psexec and I get access denied from them as well so I guess thats normal

    OK figured out which share it is by viewing the sharename in the shared folders snap-in (mmc) it listed my server name which access on the share. its "600460aa29bb4f198d0d0fb6b1636068"

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.
