Copying Core Dumps
You can save a core dump from the ACE to the disk0: file system or to a remote
server. To save a core to a remote server, use the copy core: command in Exec mode.
The ACE copies a single file based on the provided process identifier. The copy core:
command is available only in the Admin context.
To display the list of available core files, use the dir cor
e: command. Copy the
complete filename (for example, 0x401_vsh_log.25256.tar.gz) into the copy
core: command.
The syntax for the copy cor
e: Exec mode command is:
copy co
re:filename {disk0:[path/][filename] | ftp://server/path[/filename] |
sftp://[username@]server/path[/filename] |
tftp://server[:port]/path[/filename]}
The keywords, arguments, and options are:
• filename—Core dump that resides on the ACE in Flash memory. Use the dir
core: command to view the core dump files available in the core: file system.
• disk0:[path/][filename]—Specifies a file location for the core dump in the
disk0: file system and a filename for the core.
• ftp://server/path[/filename]—Specifies the FTP network server and,
optionally, the renamed core dump.
• sftp://[username@]server/path[/filename]—Specifies the SFTP network
server and, optionally, the renamed core dump.
• tftp://server[:port]/path[/filename]—Specifies the TFTP network server and,
optionally, the renamed core dump.
When you select a destination file system using ftp:, sftp
:, or tftp:, the ACE
performs the following tasks:
• Prompts you for your username and password if the destination file system
requires user authentication.
• Prompts you for the server information if you do not provide the information
with the command.
• Copies the file to the root directory of the destination file system if you do not
provide path information.
