Hi,
is it possible to use an image file which is greater than the flash card size on a RSP1.
I think the biggest flash-card available for RSP1 is 20MB, so what can I do to get a greater image running on a RSP1.
Is there any possibility to mount to cards together?
Regards,
Chris

Found a fairly explicit URL:
You might have found yourself as well. It does not state what to do when an image does not fit on a flash-card. I think you have the option to upgrade the on-board flash (= bootflash) to 32Mb. It will not be possible to use space on more than one flash-card for the same image.
Check the command: partion flash for details.

Looking in the Cisco GPL makes me thinking that there is no 32 MB-Fash card or SIMM for the RSP1 available, so that I am not able to use images greater 20MB.
Upgrading the RSP1 to RSPxy makes no sense in our case.

Hi, I have checked the IOS upgrade planner and have not found a single
image that requires greater than 20MB of flash memory.
I was just wondering if you really need a flash card (for the RSP1)
greater than 20MB. Of course, besides the fact the you might want multiple
images stored in your flash card. Thanks.

Hi,
for example the Enterprise Software in T-Release needs more (rsp-jsv-mz.122-13.T1.bin Size 20266296).
We would need Enterprise software (at the moment 17MB) and it could become possible to use eg. a new card type which needs a T-software.

Hi, yes you're right. It slipped out of my search. In fact, there's was an image
that uses almost 22MB. So I guess you won't be able to use such images
unless you replace your RSP1, or unless anybody else has another solution.
You might have the option to talk to your supplier and probably seek for
an "alternative solution". (You probably got my point...)
Thanks.

If you really needed the new features in the new code you could do a network boot also.
