traceDump
Displays, initiates, or removes a trace dump.
Synopsis tracedump [-S][-s slot]
tracedump -n [-s slot]
tracedump -r [-s slot]
tracedump -R
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.
If there is no parameter specified, this command defaults to traceDump -S.
The default remote file name format is chassisname-S#-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.dmp, in which # is
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.
Operands This command has the following mutually exclusive operands:
-S Displays dump status.
-n Initiates a background trace dump.
-r Removes the content of a trace dump.
-R Removes the content of a trace dump from all slots.
This command has the following optional operand:
-s slot Specifies the slot number from which a trace dump is generated. If this is not
supplied, the trace dump is generated from the local slot. This operand is
optional.
Examples To initiate a background trace dump from slot 5:
switch:admin> tracedump -n -s 5
To remove a trace dump:
switch:admin> tracedump -r
trace dump removed
