Why each option
On a Cisco MDS 9000 series storage switch, the latest core dump file following an unexpected reload is located in the /mnt/pss directory. This directory is designated for Post-Crash Serviceability files, including core dumps.
While /mnt/core might seem intuitive for core dumps, on Cisco MDS 9000 series switches, the designated path for core dumps is /mnt/pss.
On Cisco MDS 9000 series switches, core dump files are stored in the /mnt/pss directory, which stands for Post-Crash Serviceability. This location is specifically designed to store debugging information after a system crash, including the core dump.
/mnt/logs typically stores system logs, not core dump files which contain memory snapshots from a crash.
/mnt/recovery is generally used for system recovery images or related files, not for core dumps generated after an unexpected reload.
