Usage
Information
The Kernel core dump can be large and may take up to 5 to 30 minutes to upload. Dell Networking OS
does not overwrite application core dumps so you should delete them as necessary to conserve space on
the flash; if the flash is out of memory, the coredump is aborted. On the S-Series, if the FTP server is not
reachable, the application coredump is aborted. Dell Networking OS completes the coredump process and
wait until the upload is complete before rebooting the system.
