VLAN database Error: NV storage failure

Tweet

While I was doing VLAN lab, I kept getting below errors as adding new VLAN on VLAN database mode.

Error on database apply 40: NV storage failure

I am using GSN3 / Dynamips for the lab. Here is my workaround to share.

Cisco_VLAN# vlan database
Cisco_VLAN(vlan)# vlan 30

% not enough space on flash to store vlan database. trying squeeze…First create squeeze log by erasing the entire device % error squeezing flash – (Missing or corrupted log)
Error on database apply 40: NV storage failure
Use ‘abort’ command to exit

Cisco_VLAN(vlan)# abort
Cisco_VLAN#

Try this

Cisco_VLAN# delete flash:vlan.dat
Cisco_VLAN# squeeze flash:

and reboot from GNS or dynamips.
