I need to upgrade firmware on a FAZ_VM64 to 5.0.7. Try from web ui, get " image is too big, please expand flash disk to 512M." Options suggested are to reboot and try again, or to install via TFTP. I opted for this, but never see the " Press any key to display configuration menu..." . Assistance appreciated.

    Have your VM administrator make your first hard disk bigger. If you' re the VM admin, go into your vSphere management application and edit the VM settings. Enlarge the first hard drive so it' s somewhere north of 512MB. The upgrade, gui based or otherwise, won' t work until you do this.

    I' m having the same challenge and increasing Hard disk 1 space from 48MB to 520MB is not resolving it. From console, I see the flash space is still only 48MB: FAZVM64 # diag system flash list ImageName Version TotalSize(KB) Used(KB) Use% BootImage RunningImage primary FLG-VM-5.0-FW-build0310-140205 47595 34578 73% Yes Yes

    After doing a filesystem check: # diag sys fsck harddisk (which reboots system), shutting down from CLI after reboot: # execute shutdown, then modifying HD1 size setting to 520MB and powering back on, I was then able to perform the firmware upgrade.
