traceDump
Initiates, or removes a trace dump or displays the trace dump status.
SYNOPSIS
tracedump [-S]
tracedump -n [-s slot]
tracedump -r [-s slot] | -R
tracedump -c [-s slot]
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to initiate a background trace dump, to remove the content of a trace dump, or to
display the dump status on the switch.
When executed without operands, this command defaults to traceDump -S.
Execution of traceDump -n generates a local trace dump locally. Use supportSave to transfer the local
trace dump to a remote host. When supportSave is used, the default remote file name format for the
trace dump file is as follows:
chassisname-S#xxs-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.type_[new | old].dmp.gz
S#
xxs
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
type
new | old
dmp.gz
For example, the filename for a a new BFOS tracedump received from slot 10 on chassisABC would be
chassisABC-S10bp-201103031111.BTRACE_NEW.dmp.gz.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
