View and Delete Debug Files

Use this procedure to view and delete debug files.

Delete debug files to free space in the intflash, which has 2 GB of space. As a best practice, delete these files to ensure enough space exists in intflash. New debug files do not overwrite old debug files. You must remove the file; otherwise, enough free space may not exist in the intflash to store the core dump if the switch fails or enough space may not exist for you to transfer a new release to the intflash of the switch to upgrade your switch.

The debug-file remove command can delete the following types of files:

core
archive
PMEM
dmalloc
flrec
wd_stats

If you want to delete a specific file, you must use the remove command. For more information, see VOSS CLI Commands Reference.

Procedure

To enter User EXEC mode, log on to the switch.
View debug files:

show debug-file [all][{slot[-slot][,...]]
Delete debug files:

debug-file remove [all][{slot[-slot][,...]]
Enter Privileged EXEC mode:

enable
View core files:

show core-files {slot[-slot][,...]]

Example

The following example shows how you view all debug files for all slots, and then remove the debug files for slot 1.

Switch>show debug-file

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the show core-files command.


Variable	Value
`{slot[-slot][,...]}`	Displays the core files for the slot that you select.

The following table defines parameters for the show debug-file command.


Variable	Value
all	Displays all types of debug files
`{slot[-slot][,...]}`	Displays debug files for the slot that you select. If you do not select a slot number, the device displays all types of the archived debug files present in a slot by slot basis. If you select a slot number, the device only displays archived files for the slot you select.

The following table defines parameters for the debug-file remove command.


Variable	Value
all	Removes all types of debug files in all slots. If you use the option all with the remove debug-file command, then the device deletes all types of debug files, including the latest debug files.
`{slot[-slot][,...]}` Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Removes debug files for the slot that you select. When you clear archived files, if you do not select a slot number, the device deletes all types of archived debug files except the latest file in each slot. Valid slots are 1–12, SF1–SF6, and all.
