Pinned topic Free encrypted space on 9002 Datapower device

Hello,

you are having a REALLY old box, support for 9002 appliances ended in 2009:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21330187

Another problem you have is, that DataPower 3.7.3 firmware is the last that can be installed in 9002 hardware.
And again, support for 3.7.3 firmware ended in 2011:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21246298

The only chance you might have is asking DataPower support on whether they will give you latest 3.7.3 firmware image.

We do have some 9002s left in Boeblingen lab, and two are still running, see here:

Hi Hermann,

Thanks for the reply but it did not answer my question. do you know of any methods to free up the encrypted space...

local, store, pubcert, are empty

I was able to free up 10 MB to 63.4 MB. I have the firmware image, trying to install 3.7.3.0 (~27MB)

Still get the error for Insufficient flash space for both reinit and firmware upgrade.

Any force reinit method is also acceptable

appreciate any inputs on this..

I had free encrypted space of 61MB on margarita.

Then I did "co; fl; boot delete" in order to Delete the previous firmware install.

Afterwards I had 128MB of free encrypted space.

Then I did boot "xi3730.9002.mq6.scrypt2" image (35MB -- your 27MB seems to indicate that you do have a XS40 box).

I hope this will allow you to upgrade to 3.7.3.0 -- latest firmware is 3.7.3.19.

I really appreciate your help Hermann.

Followed as adviced- Worked perfectly, It did not work for the upgrade (same error) but, it worked for the reinit.

I reinit the device and it is running perfectly now.
