For example, to copy a core file from the ACE to a remote FTP server, enter:
host1/Admin# copy core:0x401_vsh_log.8249.tar.gz ftp://192.168.1.2
Enter the destination filename[]? [0x401_vsh_log.8249.tar.gz]
Enter username[]? user1
Enter the file transfer mode[bin/ascii]: [bin]
Password:
Passive mode on.
Hash mark printing on (1024 bytes/hash mark).
The bin (binary) file transfer mode is intended for transferring compiled files
(executables). The ascii file transfer mode is intended for transferring text files,
such as config files. The default selection of bin should be sufficient in all cases
when copying files to a remote FTP server.
To clear out all of the core dumps stored in the core: file system, use the clear
cores command in Exec mode of the Admin context. The syntax for the command
is:
clear cores
For example, to clear out all of the core dumps stored in the core: file system,
enter:
host1/Admin# clear cores
To delete a core dump file from the core: file system in Flash memory, use the
delete core: command in Exec mode of the Admin context. To view the core dump
files available in Flash memory, use the dir core: command.
The syntax for the command is:
delete core:filename
The filename argument specifies the name of a core dump file located in the core:
file system.
For example, to delete the file 0x401_VSH_LOG.25256.TAR.GZ from the core:
file system, enter:
host1/Admin# delete core:0x401_VSH_LOG.25256.TAR.GZ
