Cisco IE-4010-4S24P error saving de configuration

[schizoidman8]

Hi!

I have a Cisco IE-4010-4S24P and I tried to save the configuration but it shows the following error:

Building configuration...
SD write failed!
SD read failed!
SD write failed!
SD write failed!
SD write failed!
SD write failed!

Error: There is insufficient space on flash to write the configuration
Error: file "sdflash:/config.text.new". Remove unnecessary files and try again.[OK]

Regards.

Hi

 Your problem is related to lack of space on sdflash:

 Try this command and share the result, plase

 dir sdflash:

Appreciate your comments.

The information the switch is given does not make sense. From 951.762.944 bytes you have 912.850.944 free. It means, sdflash is almost free.

Does this device has flash: also? Can you run dir flash: ?

[schizoidman8]

Indeed, sdflash is almost free

[Flavio Miranda]

Have you tried to save on the flash? It also has free space.

Interesting that you have the IOS on both places.

How do I save on the flash?

[Flavio Miranda]

copy running-config flash:

[schizoidman8]

OK, so you mean I try to save the configuration in flash with this command but I still boot the image on sdflash?

[Flavio Miranda]

 Not a problem.

It can also boot from flash:  But this sdflash:  must be there for a reason. Maybe for redundancy as this is a industrial device.

I want to see the output to the command "sh boot" because this will "instruct" the switch the "where" to save the config.  

SD is the "default" location to store and read config and IOS.  We can change the boot variable statement to instruct the switch to read and store from the flash while the SD is getting replaced.

Thanks a lot

Config file    : sdflash:/config.text

By default, the firmware and config booth path is "sdflash:". 

Change each by doing the following: 

conf t
 boot config-file flash:config.text
 boot system flash flash:ie4010-universalk9-mz.152-7.E5/ie4010-universalk9-mz.152-7.E5.bin
end

Re-check by using "sh boot" and make sure both are now pointing to "flash:".

Thanks, I really appreciate your comments!

Is necessary to reload the switch?

Not necessary but I would so I could test that the boot variable statements work.  

Remember, that is an IE switch.  Those things are usually installed in hard-to-reach places.  Better make sure they work first.
