this will save it to nvram , it shouldn't be doing that though

what boot statemnets are enabled on the running config ..sh run | I boot

copy running-config nvram:startup-config

[deepak.nayak1]

#sh run | I boot boot-start-marker

boot system flash c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M3.bin

boot system flash c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M3.bin

boot config flash0:fss_sbi.cfg

boot-end-marker

no ip bootp server

[Mark Malone]

theres your issue boot config flash0:fss_sbi.cfg

remove this , its telling it to boot its configuration from flash , that's why its saving there , if you want nvram you need to remove this , someone has specifically set that

[deepak.nayak1]

After removing this, getting same error.

Below logs for your reference.

your nvram shows a config was saved in it today for startup..

save with copy run start and then check if the nvram startup file updated in dir nvram:starupo

you can set this to force it

boot config nvram:

[Mark Malone]

any luck with the boot config nvram ?

You need to specify the file name its to boot in nvram

is there a reason it was set to boot from flash , is there an issue with your nvram ?

boot config nvram:startup-config

but 1st copy the running-config to it so it boots the most current config if it works

copy run start nvram:startup-config

getting error

 try shrink the config size in nvram and try save it again as above
