Solutions

This section provides solutions that should help resolve the issue in most cases.

Increase cluster node size

The size of the device used by the cluster node can be increased in AWS. Use the cluster node value (instance label) to find the node and the device (device label) running out of space and increase the device size in the AWS EC2 web interface or AWS command line.
