Error when unzipping netscaler VPX

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Error when unzipping netscaler VPX

Post by tilpheck » Thu Jul 13, 2017 4:01 pm

Hi,

An error message is produced when I run the following command as part of the guide in importing a netscaler VPX appliance to eve:

Wrote only 6144 of 10240 bytes tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I have entered this exact command line:

tar -xzvf ../NSVPX-KVM-10.5-54.9008.e_nc.tgz

The only change is tha tI am using revision 9009, not 9008; I have of course adjusted the tar command to reflect this name change.

Setup:

vmware workstation 10.x
eve-ng vm has 12gb ram
CPU: i5 6600k

No issues running various QEMU nodes, dynamips, IOL, etc., but when running the tar command above the console line hangs for a minute or two and then throws that error.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I tried unzipping from a different instance of eve-ng I'm running, I think the issue was just disc size.
Did not know the 300MB netscaler tar archive would expand to 20GB.

Thanks :)
