add image failed in on command manager for ONNTAP upgrade

[Puru]

Failed to add the software image to the cluster. Verify if the image and the specified URL are valid and ensure that there is sufficient space in the system management storage area.
what is the reason for this issue???

I'm having the same issue, and still it persists even after getting rid of the old images that were in there.

I can't seem to find where the 'system management storage area' is in doco

Wow I feel stupid- so went to the command line and tried it thusly: get -url http://iisserver.corp.com/91_q_image.tgz

Got error msg: Error: command failed: Failed to download package from
       http://.../91_q_image.tgz. Error: Couldn't resolve host name : Couldn't
       resolve host 'iisserver.corp.com'

Tried with the IP and of course it worked as expected.

Thanks a lot... i was connected with a VPN, my HTTP server was running with the VPN adress and not my local address.

It is /mroot/etc/software in each of the nodes. On Clustered ontap, this is difficult to access directly, so pulling the image on with HTTP is suggested.

If the GUI fails, try the command line. Instructions for installing software images are at http://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/topic/com.netapp.doc.dot-cm-cmpr-910/TOC__system__node__image.html

Thanks Alex.

But i am looking to GUI based process where i can fixed this rather  than going CLI..

So will FTP server will work like -fttp://username@password:XXXXX/DATAONTAP\8_3_2_g.tgz file .

Anyone who has tried and stuck

Please make sure the imgae file is copied to the directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ for http and C:\inetpub\ftproot for ftp

http://server_ip/image.tgz (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\image.tgz)

The correct FTP syntax is as follow once your FTP server is up and running. Not sure why the adding image fails due to lack of space on FAS8200

ftp://anonymous:password@10.10.10.10/92_q_image.tgz

Yes this is what I was looking for, the correct FTP syntax, kept throwing an error about how authorization was required, even though i set my FTP site to anon auth. Thank you!

This is what I was looking for. A way to provide a username and password. Don't be fooled by this generic message and go crazy trying to free up space.

Web based downloads in general works, unless there is some underlying network related issues(packet drops/number of hops/congestion/etc).

As a workaround, just try to spin-up a light-weight webserver directly on a subnet (nearest hop) where Controllers are hosted.

In case anyone else runs into this issue still.... I had the same issue, wouldn't upload through System Manager or using CLI.  Tried multiple Apache servers running on SuSe linux, also tried FTP on Suse.  Always timed out.  Put the file on an IIS server and had no problem.
