Cisco Air-AP2802i no space for new ios

[jbaros]

Hello Friends,

I have the brand new Air-AP2802i, which should have 256MB of flash memory. But when I am inside, and issue show flash command, I see only 57.5M (as attached). Where is the rest of flash? I have tried to install mobility express IOS,  AIR-AP2800-K9-ME-8-8-111-0.tar, which has 65MB, but the AP was not able to store it in memory, and install it. So I have downloaded AIR-AP2800-K9-ME-8-3-143-0.tar, this is working, but doesnt have Expert View, so the browser menu is not usable for tacacs config for example.

My question is, how to install newest ios (AIR-AP2800-K9-ME-8-8-111-0.tar) to brand new Air-AP2802i? How to check whole flash memory?

Thank You

check with these command:

From WLC mode:

test system disk-usage

From AP Mode:

show memory summary

show memory detail

Thank You for your hint. I have tried this and show memory commands seems to be related to RAM, as you can see below:
aszx008#show memory sum
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 1030640 538980 491660 0 8
-/+ buffers: 538972 491668
Swap: 0 0 0

This APs should have 1GB ram so this is it. Regarding controller test command, I see nothing.
(Cisco Controller) >test system disk-usage


(Cisco Controller) >test system disk-usage

I would like to know to check physical ROM memory (flash), where ios is stored. Once I put show flash, I see only 57MB. According to device specification it should have 256MB, but I am not able to see it

If you us ethe command : sh filesystem

there you can see all the details: example from my ME AP

AP#show filesystems
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 462.2M 0 462.2M 0% /dev
tmpfs 1.0M 40.0K 984.0K 4% /dev/shm
none 1.0M 40.0K 984.0K 4% /dev/shm
/dev/ubivol/storage 57.6M 836.0K 53.8M 1% /storage   -- You see this in Flash
tmpfs 486.4M 0 486.4M 0% /run
none 80.0M 2.0M 78.0M 3% /tmp
none 80.0M 2.0M 78.0M 3% /tmp/var/run/netns
/dev/ubivol/storage2 40.0M 36.0K 37.9M 0% /storage2
/dev/ram5 29.0M 371.0K 27.2M 1% /mnt/core
AP#

Thank You Sandeep, this command works for me, unfortunately there is size of flash 57.5M, so I assume this APs has only this flash, and specification of 256M flash is bull**bleep**. Can you confirm?

[Sandeep Choudhary]

I dont think so.

Tr yto upgrade to 8.5.140.o and check then!!

[Sandeep Choudhary]

you are running 8.3 version on AP. 

So You must upgrade to an 8.5.x release first and then upgrade to Release 8.8.x.

Thank You for reply. Is it possible to install new IOS to empty AP? This I want to do. What I see there is no space for it, what I dont understand, since this AP should have 256MB flash.

[Sandeep Choudhary · Accepted solution]

As I can see that you are running 8.3 version so please try 8.5 (.ZIP) via GUI.
