triggerlivedump

Use the triggerlivedump command to capture the metadata that you want to dump, and write the dump file to the internal disk on the node.

Syntax

triggerlivedump { node_name | node_id }

Parameters

node_name|node_id
Identifies the node name or ID.

Description

You can issue this command to trigger a livedump command. Only one triggerlivedump action can be in progress at one time, with an automatic lag time of 30 seconds between each trigger event. The node must have a livedump state of prepared for this command to succeed. Output is recorded in the node trace (.trc) file.

After you issue the triggerlivedump command, the command captures data and returns you to the CLI interface so that you can issue additional commands. While you issue additional commands, the livedump disk file is written to the disk in the background, and the livedump state shows as dumping. After the write is complete, the state shows as inactive.
