FlashDevice (Cisco_FlashDevice)

FlashDevice represents physical flash memory. Flash memory may reside on a PCMCIA card, line card,
or any other type of card. FlashDevice may consist of one or more actual flash memory chips.
It also consists of reference to one or more flash partitions described in FlashPartition. The table below
describes the elements in FlashDevice.

FlashPartition (Cisco_FlashPartition)

FlashPartition corresponds to the Cisco-flash-mib. The elements in FlashPartiion are derived from the
table of properties of ciscoFlashPartitionTable for each initialized flash partition.
When there is no explicit partitioning for a device, it is assumed that there is a single partition spanning
the entire device exists. Therefore, a device always has at least one partition.
FlashPartition contains one or more FlashFileSystems as described in FlashFile. The table below
describes the elements in FlashPartition.
ConnectorType Type of the physical port.
Description Descriptive string used to describe the card.
Element Description
Element Description
InstanceID FlashDevice sequence number to index the flash devices within the table of initialized
FlashDevices.
InstanceName Name of FlashDevice. This name is used to refer to the device within the system. Flash
operations get directed to a device based on this name.
Size Total size of FlashDevice. For a removable device, the size will be zero if the device has been
removed.
NumberOfPartitions Number of Flash partitions present in f FlashDevice
ChipCount Total number of chips within FlashDevice. This element provides information to a network
management station on how much chip information to expect.
It also helps the management station to check the chip index against an upper limit when
randomly retrieving chip information for a partition.
Description Description of a FlashDevice. The description is meant to explain what FlashDevice is and its
purpose.
Removable Specifies whether FlashDeviceis removable. Typically, only PCMCIA Flash cards are treated as
removable. Socketed Flash chips and Flash SIMM modules are not treated as removable.
Element Description
InstanceID FlashPartition sequence number used to index FlashPartitions within the table for
initialized FlashPartitions.
InstanceName FlashPartition name used to refer to a partition by the system.
PartitionStatus Status of the partition.
Upgrade Upgrade information for the partition. This helps to download new files into the
partition, and is needed when the PartitionStatus is run from flash.
