Description Use this command to initiate a background trace dump, to remove the content of a trace dump, or

If there is no parameter specified, this command defaults to traceDump -S.

the slot number (0 on nonbladed systems) and YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
(year-month-day-hour-minute-second) is the trace dump time. If a non-bladed system has an
embedded BP, two trace dumps will be generated, a*.dmp file for the main switch and a *.tar.gz
archive for the embedded BP.
