Ensure Sufficient Disk Space for Upgrades
The amount of free disk space necessary to upgrade a device with a new version of Junos OS Evolved can vary from one release to another. Check the software version you are installing to determine the free disk space requirements, and then clear enough disk space for the upgrade.
If the /soft, /var, or /data directories are at 90% capacity or more, the device does not have enough storage space to install a software package. If the amount of storage space on a device is insufficient for installing Junos OS Evolved, you might receive a warning similar to the following messages, that a file system is low on free disk space:
WARNING: The /soft filesystem is low on free disk space.
WARNING: This package requires 1075136k free, but there is only 666502k
available.
When the system file storage space on the device is full, rebooting the device does not
solve the problem. The following error message displays during a typical operation on the
device after the file storage space is full: user@host> configure /soft: write
failed, filesystem is full
- To determine the amount of free disk space on the device, issue the
show system storagecommand. The command output displays statistics about the amount of free disk space in the device's file system.For example:

- If the amount of free disk space on a device is insufficient for installing Junos OS
Evolved, you can clean up the file storage on the device by deleting the system files or
unnecessary software images. You can use either the
request system storage cleanupor therequest system software deleteoperational mode command, or both, depending on where you need to clear space.- Issue the
request system storage cleanupoperational mode command on the primary Routing Engine to delete system files in the /var directory for all Routing Engines in a system, usually system-log and trace files.The list of files to be deleted displays:

- Before you can clean up unnecessary software images in the
/soft and /data directories for all
Routing Engines in a system, you must first find out what images exist on the device,
using the
