Saving Cores

You can save cores (from the active supervisor module, the standby supervisor module, or any switching
module) to an external CompactFlash (slot 0) or to a TFTP server in one of two ways:
•
•
A new scheme overwrites any previously issued scheme. For example, if you perform another core log
copy task, the cores are periodically saved to the new location or file.
Be sure to create any required directory before performing this task. If the directory specified by this
Tip
task does not exist, the switch software logs a system message each time a copy cores is attempted.
To copy the core and log files on demand, follow this step:
Command
Step 1
switch# show cores
Step 2
switch# copy core:7407 slot0:coreSample
switch# copy core://5/1524 tftp:/1.1.1.1/abcd

If the core file for the specified process ID is not available, you see the following response:
switch# copy core:133 slot0:foo
No core file found with pid 133
If two core files exist with the same process ID, only one file is copied:
switch# copy core:7407 slot0:foo1
2 core files found with pid 7407
Only "/isan/tmp/logs/calc_server_log.7407.tar.gz" will be copied to the destination.
