Auto Save on Crash or Rollover
Exception information for master or standby units is stored in the flash:/TRACE_LOG_DIR directory. This
directory contains files that save trace information when there has been a task crash or timeout.
On a master unit, you can reach the TRACE_LOG_DIR files by FTP or by using the
show file
command
from the flash://TRACE_LOG_DIR directory.
NOTE: Non-management member units do not support this functionality.
Last Restart Reason
If a Z9000 system restarted for some reason (automatically or manually), the
show system
command
output includes the reason for the restart.
The following table shows the reasons displayed in the output and their corresponding causes.
