cleardumps

The cleardumps command cleans the various dump directories on the node that is in service mode.

Syntax


>>- svcservicemodetask -- --cleardumps-- ----------------------->

>-- -prefix -- directory_or_file_filter -- --------------------><

Parameters

-prefix directory_or_file_filter

(Required) Specifies the directory, files, or both to be cleaned. If a directory is specified, with no file filter, all relevant dump or log files in that directory are cleaned. You can use the following directory arguments (filters):

/dumps (cleans all files in all subdirectories)
/dumps/configs
/dumps/elogs
/dumps/feature
/dumps/iostats
/dumps/iotrace
/dumps/mdisk
/home/admin/upgrade

In addition to the directory, you can specify a file filter. For example, if you specify /dumps/elogs/*.txt, all files in the /dumps/elogs directory that end in .txt are cleaned.

Note: The following rules apply to the use of wildcards with the SAN Volume Controller CLI:

The wildcard character is an asterisk (*).
The command can contain a maximum of one wildcard.
When you use a wildcard, enclose the filter entry within double quotation marks (""), as follows:
```
svcservicemodetask cleardumps -prefix "/dumps/elogs/*.txt"
```

Description

This command deletes all the files that match directory_or_file_filter value for the node that is in service mode.

You can clean all the dumps directories by specifying /dumps as the directory value.

You can clean all the files in a single directory by specifying one of the directory values.

You can list the contents of these directories on the given node by using the svcservicemodeinfo lsxxxxdumps commands.

You can use this command to clean specific files in a given directory by specifying a directory or file name. You can use the wildcard (*) as part of your file name.

Note: To preserve the configuration and trace files, any files that match the following wildcard patterns are not cleaned:

*svc.config*
*.trc
*.trc.old
