Flash storage ASA help

Myleslandish
Level 1
Level 1

I have a couple ASA5506x firewalls and one of them has something I can’t find information online about. The flash memory on the one in question shows 7,000 something MB of RAM and when I open the file management in ASDM, it shows there’s the normal Disk0 with normal readings. But there’s a Disk1 at the bottom with nothing saved to it and it shows an error when detecting the amount of storage it’s using. I’ve tried to delete the Disk1 from that same window in the ASDM. I’m not familiar with these things and I’m wondering if there’s a way to remove this with the ASDM or by swapping hardware with another ASA. Thank you all for any and all help.

I’m using this on a separate device. But I can tell u it doesn’t seem to have all the info it should. Granted I don’t believe the sfr is as it could be because I bought them second hand and haven’t been able to get to figuring out how to access the firepower module. But it’s also showing it’s missing the same info on the wireless AP module too which actually now that I think about it all that could be because before I even made my original post here about it, I was thinking the card on the bottom pci slot was the flash so I swapped it with one of my others I wasn’t using. And when I turned it on and saw the flash storage wasn’t changed at all I knew I’d need to ask for help. I’ve read on other things the asa5500 I believe have a few different commands that allow u to format the flash or do like a complete wipe and restore of it to factory including hidden system files. Which I just figured that was some hidden files it wouldn’t show. I’ll swap that card bk over and get bk with u if it says anything different. 

What is it in particular ur thinking? Or specific details from those commands? I swapped them bk and all that changed was of course the SN of the SSD. But idk if it’s common that the wireless AP module to also have no PID, VID, or SN. Also the sfr model says N/A as does the WLAN AP card  for the model and the serial number. SW version 9.6(1) FW 1.1.8 HW version 2.0

until we see that output requested i do not have any other suggestion for you.

Parts of it are specific identifiers that I don’t think is wise to give out. I noticed part of it looked like an ip6 address and I’m not begging for ur help. I was asking for assistance. I appreciate ur support and I’ll wait for someone who doesn’t mind explaining a little further than just asking me to post data that could be used against me. I detailed everything it had except the ip6 address in the last reply. So it’s missing spaces and an ip6 address. Oh and serial numbers. 

Am I incorrect in thinking that the MAC address specifically isn’t wise to be revealing online?

I won’t say I don’t get the standpoint of the person in the know; whether online or not, but still especially online. I’m asking if you could try and understand past the knowledge of how irrelevant that data you’ve asked for would be for the “every man” or the skilled out there online. I’m currently trying to safeguard from an individual who’s in my family, in my home, merciless, and hasn’t stopped or seen how much damage his twisted morality has caused. That being said, if you were me and you were safeguarding and attempting to learn and while setting up the “firewalls” that are connected to the home ISP router, in a different structure on the property but still, my internet source is coming from the main house not 200 feet away. Distance irrelevant, but I just don’t get the defiance to not even explain to me why it HAS to be that ONE and only response and data set readout from the command line. I mean why is it a choice between all or nothing at all? I’m in a Cisco board requesting information and help and getting a response from a “highly decorated” Cisco member. Is there really not ANY way around THAT set of data in its entirety? Again I’ve purchased the Cisco firewalls, created a Cisco account to get assistance and answers from the people who know what I don’t about Cisco products/CCNA, but the only response you’ll give is that I give you data that could very easily be used against me and my chances of stopping a serious privacy violation by a person close to me and almost undoubtedly reading this at some point in the next week or so (I assume on the time; I mean it’ll be seen and soon) and have IP addresses for one. Do you understand what I mean Balaji Bandi?

Well, I understand the stance of knowing better from experience. I just don’t quite get how it serves anyone to not even care to explain anything without someone’s complete compliance. Especially when they’ve raised valid concerns on their private information. If I’m wrong about the data in that set being sensitive then let me know it’s not what I think please. That it’s not an actual ip6 address and the serial numbers aren’t necessarily needing to be kept private. I know it’s apparent that I and many others who post their questions here aren’t all in the loop of specialists and it’s also apparent the ppl who reply are for the most part. It’s like dealing with the know it all IT guy SNL skit. “Move”!!!
