Autodeploy Image: An error occurred while generating the image [Entry is too large to be added]

By amit

This issue occurred with below environment:

vcsa 6.5, embedded vum,autodeploy and image builder service enabled.

  • For image customization we mapped more images [ approx 2 GB] so it was not allowing to map new image, and throwing below error message
Error while Autodeploy Image... An error occurred while generating the image : Error : An error occurred while performing the task Entry is too large to be added to cache, please remove any imported depots you are not using...
  • Delete the images, which are not in-use, or apply the below workaround [increase the cacheSize]
cat /etc/vmware-imagebuilder/sca-config/imagebuilder-config.propsloglevel=INFO
vmomiPort=8098
httpPort=8099
cacheSize_GB=4

ls -lh /storage/imagebuilder/exports/
total 361M

Go in vcsa --> Administrator-->System Configuration-->Services

Restart Auto Deploy

Restart ImageBuilder Service
