Some outputs are very long. To better manage them you can redirect the output to a file (for example, show tech-support > filename ) in the local writable storage file system or the remote file system.
You can use one of the following redirection methods:
> filename —Redirects the output to a file.
>> filename —Redirects the output to a file in append mode.
switch# show tech-support > bootflash:TechSupport.txt
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
switch# show tech-support > bootflash:TechSupport.txt
So, do you think this bootflash belongs to this switch?

Yes the bootflash is the local memory. type 'dir' and 'dir ?' the next time you are on it and you'll see what what files are on there.
it's just giving the redirect a target i.e. show-command > filesystem://module/output.txt
the 'filesystem' can also be TFTP so i.e. show-command > tftp://10.10.1.1/output.txt
Thanks

Do you think the command could use a lot resource, such as ram etc? because this response is
" Show tech brief will take 4-6 minutes to complete. Please Wait ...
: Cannot allocate memory
Thank you

It shouldn't do but depends on your environment - there's just a lot of information in a show tech. try 'show tech brief'
fyi show tech was just an example - you could use any command.
Can you rate my responses?
Thanks
