Dell Force10 E600i FTOS Version 8.4.1.5 Configuration Guide for ExaScale - Page 1089

FTOS actually saves up to three persistent files depending upon the type of failure. When reporting an RPM failover triggered by a loss of the IPC or IRC heartbeats, look for failure records in the following directories: - Application or kernel core dump RP in the CORE_DUMP_DIR - CP trace log file (look for a filename with the phrase "failure_trace") in the TRACE_LOG_DIR - RP and/or CP sysinfo file in the CRASH_LOG_DIR, as explained above Debug commands FTOS supports an extensive suite of debug commands for troubleshooting specific problems while working with Dell Force10 technical support staff. All debug commands are entered in privileged EXEC mode. Refer to the FTOS Command Reference for details. Hardware watchdog timer The hardware watchdog command automatically reboots an FTOS switch/router with a single RPM that is unresponsive. This is a last resort mechanism intended to prevent a manual power cycle. Table 1 Command hardware watchdog Description Enable the hardware watchdog mechanism. Show hardware commands The show hardware command tree consists of privileged EXEC commands created or changed specially for use with the E-Series. These commands display information from a hardware sub-component, such as the Buffer and Traffic Management (BTM) ASIC and the Forwarding and Packet Classification (FPC) ASIC. They should be used only under the guidance of Dell Force10 technical support staff. The following table lists the show hardware commands. For detailed information on these and other commands, refer to the FTOS Command Line Interface Reference document. Command show hardware rpm slot-number mac counters [port port-number] clear hardware rpm slot-number mac counters Description View or clear the receive- and transmit- counters for the party-bus control switch on the IPC subsystem of the RPM.
