I am having trouble with my App Layering Appliance. Have failed to find any mention of this issue here or elsewhere on the internet. On the appliance under System/Management and Storage both the Layering service and the Management service status say "Needs attention" with an orange exclamation triangle. The "running since" on the layering service says 6/30/2025. The "running since" on the Management service says 11/17/2023, which corresponds to the last time I booted the appliance. Yes, I have tried rebooting it several times.
The Storage (on the Monitoring and Storage page) shows 308gb free. Even so I have attempted to expand the storage. I add some new free space on the disk on the VM but it never shows available when I click Expand storage. I suspect whatever is cause the Management service to "need attention" probably keeps it from recognizing and offering new space.
This would all just be puzzling and annoying except after the appliance is in this state for a while then then Image Publishing tasks stop working. They sit in state "Pending" forever with a status saying the task will start when more resources are available.
I have had a case open with Citrix Support for four days. There do not seem to be any support articles that apply very specifically and none of the suggestion in the ones we tried have had any effect. Waiting hopefully for some escalation engineer to have a better idea.
Does anyone have experience or suggestions that may help? Have not been able to publish new images for more than a week now.
We are running ELM version 23.4.0.1007. I'd be happy to try upgrading to 23.09 but any attempt fails before really starting. Probably for the same core reason behind the problem.

Hi folks,
