Nevermind, I think I found it. There is a tiny tmp partition called /nxos/tmp that is full.

So the switch is running 7.0(3)I1(3) According to docs: Upgrading from Cisco NX-OS Release 7.0(3)1(2), Release 7.0(3)I1(3), or Release 7.0(3)I1(3a), requires installing a patch for Cisco Nexus 9500 platform switches only. For more information on the upgrade patch, see Patch Upgrade Instructions. So I tried to install the two patches that are needed to upgrade 7.0(3)I1(3) which are: CSCuy16604 CSCuy16606 NXLAB# install activate n9000-dk9.7.0.3.I1.3.CSCuy16604.bin Install operation 26 failed because there was no space left on device I have no idea which device it is saying has no space. NXLAB# dir | i free 229980663808 bytes free NXLAB# dir volatile: | i free 629145600 bytes free Any clue?

There was an issue that would brick the switch if you tried to go straight to the latest version.

Please try programming it again and DO NOT reboot without programming it successfully, otherwise you have to manually take out the flash from the card and program it in a BIOS programming station. Resetting boot variables. Please wait. Install has failed. Return code 0x40930015 (Pre-upgrade of a module failed). Please identify the cause of the failure, and try 'install all' again. I've tried it a few times and it always fails. Any way to manually try to update the bios outside of the install all process or am I doing this incorrectly to begin with? I have read some instructions that say you just set the new .bin file as the boot parameter and reboot it and it magically takes care of everything. Then the other instructions I read says don't do that incase the bios upgrade fails while its rebooting. Thanks if anyone has run into this before. May just scrap this thing. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
