F5 BIG-IP SOL#10636 (Disk Full)
When trying to upgrade our F5 BIG-IP today, I ran into SOL#10636 which equates to "out of space." While the official docs told me how to delete the failed install, it did not tell me how to create a new volume where I could retry the install. Here's what to do if you hit this error!

- SSH into your BIG-IP instance.
- Enter the tmsh shell:
tmsh - View the existing volumes:
show /sys software - Delete the failed installation volume:
delete /sys software volume HD1.3 - Verify our work:
show /sys software - Try the install again and create a new volume for it:
install sys software image BIGIP-17.0.0.1-0.0.4.iso create-volume volume HD1.3 - You can now verify the install is active two ways:
- GUI: Login and browse to System > Software Management > Image List.
- Shell:
show /sys software
