Recovering From Locked Blocks In Flash Memory Cards; If You Need More Configuration Information - Cisco 7500 Series Configuration Manual

If You Need More Configuration Information

Router# copy slot0:myfile startup-config
[ok]
Router#
To ensure that the startup configuration file, now stored in NVRAM, is the default running configuration
file used by the system, issue the copy startup-config running-config command as follows:
Router# copy startup-config running-config
Router#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from memory by console
Router#
This completes the procedure for copying a configuration file from the Flash memory card to NVRAM.

Recovering from Locked Blocks in Flash Memory Cards

A locked block in Flash memory cards occurs when power is lost or a Flash memory card is unplugged
during a write or erase operation. When a block of Flash memory is locked, it cannot be written to or
erased, and the operation will consistently fail at a particular block location. The only way to recover
from locked blocks is by reformatting the Flash memory card with the format command.
Caution Formatting a Flash memory card will cause existing data to be lost.
