The switch stores debug files in the intflash directory.
The debug file is in a zipped format and contains information to help debug the device, including:
a memory snapshot
logs
traces
This best practice is to delete these files to ensure enough space exists in the internal flash. New files do not overwrite old files. You must remove the files; otherwise, the internal flash may not have enough free space for necessary activities, for example, to store a core dump file if the switch fails, or you may not have the space to transfer a new release to the internal flash to upgrade your switch.
The switch stores a maximum of 32 files for each debug file for each slot, depending on the file size of each debug file. The internal flash provides 2 GB of storage. A message appears on the console to inform you when less than 700 MB is available.
The debug-file remove command can delete the following types of debug files:
core
archive
PMEM
dmalloc
flrec
wd_stats
If you want to delete a specific file, you must use the remove command.
The switch does not support SNMP for the show debug-file or the debug-file remove commands.
