UCS Core File Exporter

Bet you didn't know about this...

UCS has a feature built-in that will allow for the export of core files off of the system as soon as they occur to a specified TFTP server.  In order to configure this feature, known as the Core File Exporter, you will need to navigate in UCSM to the Admin tab -> Faults, Events and Audit Log -> Settings.  On the right hand pane, you will see a Core File Exporter tab, which will need to be enabled.






One the feature is enabled, you will be able to enter the TFTP server hostname/IP and remote path.





Whenever a core file is written to the UCS system, it will be automatically be sent to the configured TFTP server.
This feature can also be enabled via the CLI: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/cli/config/guide/1.3.1/CLI_Config_Guide_1_3_1_chapter40.html#task_00981534E203404D9D4B547FF17D8FDB


Great feature for system monitoring and automatic export of core files to be included in TAC cases!
