Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Core Dump

Description

  • A  node has experienced a panic or a forced panic has been triggered and a core file (an in-memory image) has been created.
  • The core needs to be uploaded to NetApp for analysis
  • Core files are typically quite large, in the tens to hundreds of GB
  • Depending on the size of the core file and overall WAN throughput, core uploads can take an extended amount of time to complete, this is especially true for systems with large amounts of RAM (hundreds of GB)
  • Generally, it is recommended to perform the giveback as soon as possible after a core dump for software-related issues
  • More information found at Manage core dumps
