Solved: Verifying Free space in Flash

mahesh18 · ‎03-19-2015

Hi everyone,

I am trying to upgrade IOS on WS-C3750G-24T to c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.150-2.SE5.bin

I was getting error

%Error writing flash:/c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.150-2.SE5.bin (No space left on devi
ce)

So i deleted the old ios from the flash

witch#sh flash

Directory of flash:/

    3 -rwx         616   Mar 1 1993 00:14:02 +00:00 vlan.dat
    7 -rwx          24   Mar 1 1993 00:16:49 +00:00 private-config.text
    8 -rwx        2072   Mar 1 1993 00:16:49 +00:00 multiple-fs

15998976 bytes total (15993856 bytes free)

New IOS is 17.42MB.

Need to verify that total space on flash is 15998976 ???

Regards

MAhesh

As far as I can see your switch only has 16Mb of flash memory and the IOS you are trying to load is bigger than that.

In addition the IOS you are trying to load is not supported on your switch -

I would put your other IOS back.

I may be mistaken so if I am hopefully someone else will add to this.

Really early 3750s only had 16 MB of flash, so you're going to be unable to load a 17 MB image.
