Hi list,

When I was installing a new router I had the follow error:


Router#

*Jan 31 16:27:46.067: NV: Invalid Pointer value(44AF40A0) in private

configuration structure

*Jan 31 16:27:46.107: NV: Invalid Pointer value(44AF40A0) in private

configuration structure

*Jan 31 16:27:46.107: %SYS-4-NV_BLOCK_INITFAIL: Unable to initialize the

geometry of nvram



In cisco Webpage I found the follow explanation:


Error Message

%SYS-4-NV_BLOCK_INITFAIL : Unable to initalize the geometry of nvram

Explanation    The software failed to initialize the NVRAM block geometry,
which is a part of the NVRAM used to host nonconfiguration data files.
Typically, these files are used by SNMP to store and retrieve
nonconfiguration persistent data across a system reload. This failure may
occur when the entire NVRAM is packed with the configuration, and the
version of software that supports this feature could not find the minimum
room in the NVRAM to initialize the block file system.

Recommended Action    Reduce the configurations in the NVRAM by at least by
2K.


My question is: How can I performerd the Recommended Action, some command?,
the file size of my configuration is 8767 bytes

any ideas?

Rgds.
