ISR4331 Router SSD-MSATA-200G shows only 20G ?

[angelayan]

Hi, 

Have an order of ISR4331 router with SSD-MSATA-200G. 

However in the the show ver, it shows only 20G ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

cisco ISR4331/K9 (1RU) processor with 3696789K/6147K bytes of memory.
20971520K bytes of SATA hard disk at harddisk:.

Configuration register is 0x2102

---------------------------------------------------------------------

is this expected ?

Hi,

It appears that they sent you a router with the wrong hard drive size. 

Open a ticket with Cisco and RMA it.

En una nota viene este texto

“The Cisco Unity Express Virtual uses hard disk with a maximum ceiling limit of 20 GB only. Hence, when you execute the show version CLI command on the Cisco Unity Express Virtual prompt, the hard disk capacity displays as 20 GB, even when your router hard disk capacity may be 50 GB or higher.”

Really late to the party on this one, but i'm posting this info for anyone else who may be looking for it.

To answer your question:  Yes, it's expected.  

What i've discovered is the remaining space can be utilized by the virtual-service or Service Container setup.

Anything I ran using IOx would fill up that 20G partition in no time, but if you run a vm as a Service Container, it uses the Volume-group created by IOS-XE.  You can copy a Service Container .ova file to the harddisk: partition and install it, but it will install in the remaining space.

Here's an output:
