Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
At current, upgrading from Red Hat CloudForms 4.1 or Red Hat CloudForms 4.2 to Red Hat CloudForms 4.5 might result in a disk space error when running 'yum update' after enabling the repositories for the Red Hat CloudForms 4.5 release. As a workaround, increase the size of the 'VG--CFME-lv_var' logical volume on the appliance by 1GB. This can be accomplished with the following commands: umount /dev/VG-CFME/lv_repo lvreduce --yes --size 1GB /dev/mapper/VG--CFME-lv_repo lvextend --resizefs --size +1GB /dev/mapper/VG--CFME-lv_var

Description luke couzens 2017-05-23 16:57:19 UTC 
Description of problem:When upgrading from 5.7 to 5.8 sometimes you receive disk space errors


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):5.8.0.16


How reproducible:33%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.provision 5.7
2.configure database
3.add provider
4.add latest repos
5.run yum update

Actual results:disk out of space


Expected results:update completes successfully without disk errors, or we need to add a section to the docs explaining how to resize the partition.


Additional info: My work around was as follows

umount /dev/VG-CFME/lv_repo
lvreduce --yes --size 1GB /dev/mapper/VG--CFME-lv_repo
lvextend --resizefs --size +1GB /dev/mapper/VG--CFME-lv_var
