When you see you are hit with the Bug "CSCwb20082" which means its Flash disk full on your local router and you may encountered this problem where Hundreds of thousands of sdavc packs that never seem to be cleared out are filling up the router bootflash.  

Due to a shortage of storage space, this has so far resulted in one of our routers failing; the device was non-functional and the cEdge services would not start.  Because of these sdavc packs, we are observing another router that has now hit 100% use on the bootflash.

  • Model : C8300 SD-WAN Router
  • Version : 17.3.4

Lets check where is the problem on the router:
Step 1: Run the below command, See below in red eating your Flash Memory

NDNA_R1#show platform hardware qfp active feature nbar client function sci_cpr_non_batch_show_info
Non-graph batch sender info:
Non-graph batch sender info:
        is_initialized: TRUE
        is_batch_in_progress: TRUE
        num_of_batches_created: 16866
        num_of_batches_destroyed: 16865
        num_of_errs_not_initialized: 0
        num_of_errs_invalid_batch_pointer: 0
        num_of_errs_wrong_batch_id: 2486790
        num_of_errs_invalid_batch_state: 0
        num_of_errs_batch_in_progress: 0
        num_of_errs_msg_reset_failed: 0
        num_of_errs_failed_to_create: 0
        num_of_errs_invalid_batch: 0
        num_of_errs_failed_to_show_batch_info: 0
        num_of_errs_failed_to_destroy_batch: 0
        num_of_errs_invalid_msg_buffer: 0
        num_of_errs_failed_to_parse_header: 0
        num_of_errs_failed_to_process_msg: 2486790


Non-graph batch info:
batch_id: 16866
        batch_state: NON_GRAPH_BATCH_STATE_MSG_RECEIVED
        total_num_of_msgs_in_batch: 0
        total_num_of_records_in_batch: 0
Step 2: Check on the pp_count on your router which seems high as well 

NDNA_R1#dir sdavc | count pp_update
Number of lines which match regexp = 11391
Step 3: Now check the Platform Resources with the below command to understand if the platform is healthy, warning or Critical. 

NDNA_R1#sh platform resources 
**State Acronym: H - Healthy, W - Warning, C - Critical                                             
Resource                 Usage                 Max             Warning         Critical        State

If you see above the bootflash memory is on 97% which is in Critical state as shown above. It may possible you will hit with the bug "CSCwb20082"


To fix, upgrade the router to the newer Version of 17.9.3a
