350-601 Question #188: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A Cisco MDS 9000 series storage Switch has reloaded unexpectedly. Where does the engineer look for the latest core dump file?

Options

• A/mnt/core
• B/mnt/pss
• C/mnt/logs
• D/mnt/recovery

Explanation

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.

Common mistakes.

• A. While /mnt/core might seem intuitive for core dumps, on Cisco MDS 9000 series switches, the designated path for core dumps is /mnt/pss.
• C. /mnt/logs typically stores system logs, not core dump files which contain memory snapshots from a crash.
• D. /mnt/recovery is generally used for system recovery images or related files, not for core dumps generated after an unexpected reload.
