Diagnosis
In 01 Create VM, I had allocated 30GB of disk space in the belief that it was more than enough.
The current allocation of disk space is:
The root problem is that I did not allow enough space for the extracted software, and I had greatly underestimated the size of the O/S. I had relied on VirtualBox's suggestion the O/S installation required 12GB— here it took 13GB. I added 15Gb for the OMS installation, and added 3GB for safety.
