The "show run" command has always worked in the past. No one else has reconfigured anything on this router since I started working on it.

Check your logged in at privilege 15
Also - there may be "views" configured.
Try also this:
sh running-config view full

I’m dealing with a serious problem on a router I can only connect to remotely. Show run on the router returns nothing.
core-gw1.noc#show run
core-gw1.noc#
The running config is definitely there, though and the router is operational. And interestingly the system that copies the router’s config every night seems to have no problem pulling it down via tftp. And I can add and remove config commands and have them become active, even though I can’t see the config when it’s running.
I tried copying the running config to the startup config and got an error.
core-gw1.noc#dir nvram:
Directory of nvram:/
488 -rw- 19717 <no date> startup-config
489 ---- 1157 <no date> private-config
490 -rw- 19717 <no date> underlying-config
1 ---- 46 <no date> persistent-data
2 -rw- 0 <no date> ifIndex-table
3 -rw- 4 <no date> rf_cold_starts
522232 bytes total (498234 bytes free)
core-gw1.noc#write mem
startup-config file open failed (Not enough space)
I found that any command I try with regards to the startup config gets the same result. I concluded that the nvram: must be corrupt. So I did an “erase” to reformat and clear it, and that went fine. so then I tried to write the startup-config again and had the same problem.
core-gw1.noc#erase nvram:
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration files! Continue? [confirm] [OK] Erase of nvram: complete core-gw1.noc#dir nvram:
Directory of nvram:/
508 -rw- 0 <no date> startup-config
509 ---- 0 <no date> private-config
510 -rw- 0 <no date> underlying-config
1 ---- 46 <no date> persistent-data
2 -rw- 0 <no date> ifIndex-table
3 -rw- 4 <no date> rf_cold_starts
522232 bytes total (519108 bytes free)
core-gw1.noc#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
startup-config file open failed (Not enough space)
So now I am in a position where I don’t dare reboot the router because it has no startup config. I did try tftping the backup config to nvram:, and it worked find as long as I gave it another name.
core-gw1.noc#copy tftp nvram:
Address or name of remote host [admin2.win.net]?
Source filename [core-gw1.noc-confg.noALW]? noc-config Destination filename [noc-config]?
Accessing tftp://admin2.win.net/noc-config...
Loading noc-config from 216.24.27.2 (via FastEthernet2/0): !!!!!!!
[OK - 34368 bytes]
34368 bytes copied in 0.756 secs (45460 bytes/sec) core-gw1.noc#dir nvram:
Directory of nvram:/
508 -rw- 0 <no date> startup-config
509 ---- 0 <no date> private-config
510 -rw- 0 <no date> underlying-config

2 -rw- 0 <no date> ifIndex-table
3 -rw- 4 <no date> rf_cold_starts
4 -rw- 34368 <no date> noc-config
But when I tried to rename noc-config to startup-config, it gave the same space error. As does deleting startup-config, or any attempt to do anything to the startup-config file.
Here is the show ver info on the router.

PCI bus mb1 (Slots 1, 3 and 5) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Current configuration on bus mb1 has a total of 600 bandwidth points.
This configuration is within the PCI bus capacity and is supported.
PCI bus mb2 (Slots 2, 4 and 6) has a capacity of 600 bandwidth points.
Current configuration on bus mb2 has a total of 780 bandwidth points.
The set of PA-2FE, PA-POS-2OC3, and I/O-2FE qualify for "half bandwidth points" consideration, when full bandwidth point counting results in oversubscription, under the condition that only one of the two ports is used. With this adjustment, current configuration on bus
mb2 has a total of 580 bandwidth points.
This configuration is within the PCI bus capacity and is supported under the above condition.
Please refer to the following document "Cisco 7200 Series Port Adaptor Hardware Configuration Guidelines" on Cisco.com <http://www.cisco.com> for c7200 bandwidth points oversubscription and usage guidelines.
