You can save a core dump from the ACE to the disk0: file system or to a remote
server. To save a core to a remote server, use the copy core: command in Exec mode.
The ACE copies a single file based on the provided process identifier. The copy core:
command is available only in the Admin context.
To display the list of available core files, use the dir core: command. Copy the
complete filename (for example, 0x401_vsh_log.25256.tar.gz) into the copy
core: command.
The syntax for the copy core: Exec mode command is:
copy core:filename {disk0:[path/][filename] | ftp://server/path[/filename] |
sftp://[username@]server/path[/filename] |
tftp://server[:port]/path[/filename]}
The keywords, arguments, and options are:
filename—Core dump that resides on the ACE in Flash memory. Use the dir
•
core: command to view the core dump files available in the core: file system.
disk0:[path/][filename]—Specifies a file location for the core dump in the
•
disk0: file system and a filename for the core.
ftp://server/path[/filename]—Specifies the FTP network server and,
•
optionally, the renamed core dump.
sftp://[username@]server/path[/filename]—Specifies the SFTP network
•
server and, optionally, the renamed core dump.
tftp://server[:port]/path[/filename]—Specifies the TFTP network server and,
•
optionally, the renamed core dump.
When you select a destination file system using ftp:, sftp:, or tftp:, the ACE
performs the following tasks:
Prompts you for your username and password if the destination file system
•
requires user authentication.
Prompts you for the server information if you do not provide the information
•
with the command.
Copies the file to the root directory of the destination file system if you do not
•
provide path information.
