Junos OS

I am having issues patching our QFX 5120's from 24.4R2-S2.6 to 24.4R2-S3.6. I have 4 devices that installed fine all 48T models. And 4 devices that failed add no space left on device 32C and 48Y models. request system storage cleanup is not cleaning up this issue. I have ran the installation multiple different ways, no-copy no-validate  unlink force-host etc. no luck. The file size is 1625mb which is concurrent with the file size that has been released in the past. In fact the current version installed on these switches is 1624mb. We have logged into the shell and looked for large files that could be causing this and have not been able to find or pinpoint anything that should not be there. Any suggestions or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Failed install log

The «no space left» happens when pushing the file to the hypervisor, not within the JunOS Virtual Machine.

So you have to look inside the hypervisor and check manually.

start shell user root
hshell

Then check where there's something wrong...

Here is a working QFX5120 from inside the hypervisor (and of course you want to look at /var/log and /var/tmp).

17GB are available in the linux host /var

Execute "request app-engine cleanup" as a "root" and try the upgrade again.
This command will clean /var/tmp and /var/log on the VM Host.
