Solution

1. Check system storage:


user@switch> show system storage | match /config

/dev/da0s4d       116M    115M   -9.2M   109% /config



2. Check /config for any large files. In this case case auto_image_upgrade.conf was very large. 


user@switch> start shell

%

% ls -al /config | grep auto_image_upgrade


-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 120913920 Dec 31 2022 auto_image_upgrade.conf


3. Delete auto_image_upgrade.conf


root@switch:RE:0% rm auto_image_upgrade.conf
