2. Once you see
Uncompressed kernel dump was saved
(in red above), the crash dump file will be
located in the
snfs/Kdump
directory.
Note:
The
/snfs/Kdumps/kdump_<name>
folder contains multiple files. Make sure to zip the entire
folder and its contents prior to transfer to Quantum.
Using WinSCP to Compress and Transfer the Crash
Dump File
WinSCP is a free utility that provides secure FTP services which you can use to transfer files to and from a
DXi system. WinSCP has PuTTY built in, so it can also be used as an SSH client for the DXi system.
