Configuring Software Crash Log Destinations
The system can be configured to store software crash log information to any of the following locations:
-
On VPC
-
Flash memory: Accessible by the virtual machine
-
USB memory stick: Installed in the USB slot of the platform (USB slot has been enabled via the hypervisor)
-
-
Network Server: Any workstation or server on the network that the system can access using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), or the Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP); this is recommended for large network deployments in which multiple systems require the same configuration
Crash log files (full core dumps) are written with unique names as they occur to the specified location. The name format is crash-card-cpu-time-core. Where card is the card slot, cpu is the number of the CPU on the card, and time is the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) timestamp in hexadecimal notation.
Use the following example to configure a software crash log destination in the Global Configuration mode:
configure
crash enable [ encrypted ] url crash_url
end
NOTES:
-
Repeat to configure additional software crash log destinations. There is no limit to the number of destinations that can be configured.
