Oracle VM ware

jacksonan123 — Wed, 29 May 2019 04:17:52 GMT

I have read the various posts related to no space left on device. My question is when this occurs what can one do to get SAS UE to run again? I have tried downloading the Oracle virtual box to no avail, I keep getting the same error.

Is there a way to delete the problematic files to get SAS UE to run again?

You do not have any access to the internal filesystem of the VM. At the moment, you can only uninstall and re-install the VM.

I have posted a Software Ballot idea that requests a thorough clean of the UE VM when it starts up, to recover gracefully from non-graceful shutdowns.

I agree that since a thorough clean can't be done manually then it would be
a great idea to have a thorough clean when it starts up. Since I have tried
to reinstall and I continually get the same message that the device is full,
there is nothing that I can do?

When I had this problem with VM Ware work station reinstalling worked but
not with Oracle virtual box.

Any suggestions?

A fresh download from the SAS website can't have a disk space problem, IMO. Remove everything (except the shared folder) from your PC, do a fresh download, and a fresh install using the existing shared folder.

That was what I was afraid would have to be done. The only issue is that
there is a limitation on the number of times that one can download SAS UE.
Does this still exist?

I was able to contact SAS and they reset my SAS UE downloads to 0. Therefore your solution to delete and re download Oracle Box and SAS UE does resolve the problem.
