Hello,
DFM 1.2 reports that several of our 6509 switches have insufficient NVRAM memory. After I telnet to one of the switches reported, and running sh ver command I see the following
NVRAM total: 512K
NVRAM used: 446K
NVRAM free: 66K
Then, I copied config file (sh config all) to my pc
to see the size of the config file and it's about 200K.
My question is, do we have a problem where NVRAM is badly fragmented and if yes what is the way to fix it?
Or is this normal behavior?
Thank you for any help.

There's a bug in some versions of DFM in which Cat switches are incorrectly polled for memory stats.And also check the status by using following command.
switch> (enable) sh proc mem
Memory Used: 8887520
Free: 146030080
Total: 154917600

If you look at the output of a show ver it will give you the amount of free nvram. It probably is as DFM is reporting.
Be default the switch saves the config in binary form which is much larger than text.
Try changing the config mode to text, although you will need to write mem to save the config unless you are running quite new code which has an auto-save feature.
