Collecting Data After You Restart

About this task

Perform this procedure after you restart the affected chassis.

Procedure

  1. Use FTP to transfer the following information:
    • Configuration files from each chassis: Stored on the internal flash at /intflash/.

    • Log files from each chassis: Stored on the internal flash at /intflash/.

    • Generated archive files for slot: Stored on the internal flash. For example: /intflash/archive/<slot>

    Note

    Note

    For VSP 8600, if the core file is not on the primary control processor (CP), you can use FTP to connect to the internal flash of the primary CP. For example, cp mnt/intflash/archive/<slot>/<filename> /intflash/<filename>

    To copy the file to internal flash or usb device in the primary CP, use the following command: cp mnt/intflash/archive/<slot>/<filename> {/intflash/<filename> | /usb/<filename>}

  2. Show core information:

    show core—files

    If the timestamp for an entry in the command output matches the time the outage first occurred, or is later than that time, transfer that core file to an FTP server. Core files are stored on the internal flash at: /intflash/coreFiles/

  3. Obtain the network diagram of the relevant nodes, down to the port level.
