Core Dump Messages.
If you configure the switch to write core dump (debug) files to the internal
memory card and attempt to download a new software image, you might have insufficient space to
complete the image download. If this occurs, you must decide whether to continue the software
download or move or delete the core dump files from the internal memory. For example, if you have a
modular switch with an external memory card installed with space available, transfer the files to the
external memory card. On the Summit X450 family of switches, transfer the files from the internal
memory card to a TFTP server. This frees up space on the internal memory card while keeping the core
dump files.
The switch displays a message similar to the following and prompts you to take action:
Core dumps are present in internal-memory and must be removed before this download can
continue. (Please refer to documentation for the “configure debug core-dumps” command
for additional information)
Do you wnat to continue with download and remove existing core dumps? (y/n)
Enter
y
to remove the core dump files and download the new software image. Enter
n
to cancel this
action and transfer the files before downloading the image.
For information about configuring and sending core dump information, see the
configure debug
core-dumps
and
save debug tracefiles memorycard
commands.
