ASA 5525-X flash problem

Mammad Mammadov — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 05:12:02 GMT

I have ASA5525-X and I can't save configuration because of flash memory doesn't let me. I tried to format from rommon but results are same. Is there someone who can help me to fix a problem?

Hi,

Can you update with these outputs:-

1) show disk0:

2) fsck disk0:

3) error which you get while writing the configuration on the ASA device.

Thanks and Regards,

Vibhor Amrodia

Hi,

Can you Shutdown the IPS module running on the ASA device and then try to check again.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,So , did you try to fsck

Vibhor Amrodia — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 09:38:57 GMT

Hi,

So , did you try to fsck the disk after shutting down the module ?

It seems that we should try to format the Disk as the last resort after that.

Thanks and Regards,

Vibhor Amrodia
