Cause
VxUpdate requires disk space on destination hosts to store NetBackup packages. When this failure occurs, there is insufficient disk space available to store NetBackup packages at the location indicated in the error message. This compromises VxUpdate's ability to install those packages.
Solution
Free up space on the disk or mount point where NetBackup is installed. There must be enough space for VxUpdate to complete, for the NetBackup installation process to function, and for NetBackup to run comfortably. See the NetBackup Installation Guide for more information on system requirements.
