Use this procedure to display and verify the core dump context information of NCS 1004. This helps ensure that unexpected core dumps do not exist in the system.

The show context command displays core dump context information of NCS 1004. This information helps you identify system crashes or unexpected core dumps that require attention.

Procedure

Use the show context command in Cisco IOS XR EXEC mode to display core dump context information of NCS 1004.
Example:
```
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# show context
Mon Sep 27 17:21:59.219 UTC

node: node0_RP0_CPU0
----------------------------------------------------------------
No context
```
Note

The command output is empty during system upgrade.
Enter the admin command to access system admin EXEC mode.

Use the show context command in system admin EXEC mode to display core dump context information of NCS 1004.

Example:

sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show context
Mon Sep  27 17:22:19.351 UTC+00:00
************************************************************
Location : 0/RP0
************************************************************
No context

If the output shows "No context" in both modes, the system does not have core dumps and operates normally.
