Enabling and Copying Core Dumps
Enabling and Disabling Core Dumps
To disable core dumps, enter:
(config)# dump disable
To reenable core dumps (the default setting), enter:
(config)# dump enable
Showing Core Dumps
Use the show core command to display the core dump files stored in the Core
directory of the volume root (for example, c:\core) on the hard disk or Flash disk.
This command is available in all modes except User mode.
Use the show core disk_slot command to display the core dump files stored in the
Core directory of the volume root of a specific disk in the CSS 11501, CSS 11503,
or CSS 11506. Valid selections are 0 (for the disk in slot 0) or 1 (for the disk in
slot 1).
For example:
# show core
SCP0101_4.80_115... OCT 31 15:06:26 16708412
SCP0101_4.80_109... OCT 29 16:56:16 37806459
SCP0101_4.80_116... NOV 1 15:54:28 38403870
Copying Core Dumps to an FTP or TFTP Server
Use the copy core command to copy core dumps from the CSS to a File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. This command is
available in SuperUser mode. A core dump occurs when the CSS experiences a
fatal error.
To see a list of core dumps, enter the copy core ? command.
Note The CSS FTP server supports only the active (normal) FTP mode of operation. It
does not support the passive FTP mode of operation.
