Download EPUBconfigure debug core-dumps
Description
Enables or disables the sending of core dump files to the internal memory card, a compact flash card, or a USB 2.0 storage device.
Syntax Description
| internal-memory | Specifies that saving debug information to the internal memory card is enabled. This is the default behavior. Use this parameter only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. |
| memorycard | Enables saving debug
information to a removable storage device, which can be a compact
flash card or a USB 2.0 storage device. Use this parameter only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. Note: This
parameter is available for USB 2.0 storage devices on Summit
X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2-48x, and X770 switches.
|
| off | Specifies that the switch does not save core dump files to memory or to removable storage devices. |
Default
Beginning with ExtremeXOS 11.6, configure debug core-dumps internal-memory is enabled by default.
Usage Guidelines
Note
Use this command only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel to troubleshoot the switch.
- If an ExtremeXOS process fails.
- When forced under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support.
If you configure the switch to write core dump files to the internal memory and attempt to download a new software image, you might have insufficient space to complete the image download. If this occurs, move or delete the core dump files from the internal memory. For example, if the switch supports a removable storage device that has space available, transfer the files to the device. On switches without removable storage devices, transfer the files from the internal memory card to a TFTP server. This frees up space on the internal memory card while keeping the core dump files.
Before you can enable and save debug information to a removable storage device, you must install the device. For more information about installing a removable storage device, refer to the hardware documentation.
After you use the eject memorycard command and manually remove a removable storage device, this setting is automatically changed to off.
Stackables in Stack Mode
This command works only from the master node. If you enable it on stack master, it is applicable for all nodes.
Example
The following example enables a switch to save debug information to a removable storage device:
configure debug core-dumps memorycard
The following example enables the switch to save debug information to the internal memory card:
configure debug core-dumps internal-memory
