# This file contains a series of commands to perform (in order) in the kdump
# kernel after a kernel crash in the crash kernel(1st kernel) has happened.
#
# Directives in this file are only applicable to the kdump initramfs, and have
# no effect once the root filesystem is mounted and the normal init scripts are
# processed.
#
# Currently, only one dump target and path can be specified. If the dumping to
# the configured target fails, the failure action which can be configured via
# the "failure_action" directive will be performed.
#
# Supported options:
#
# raw <partition>
# - Will dd /proc/vmcore into <partition>.
# Use persistent device names for partition devices,
# such as /dev/vg/<devname>.
#
# nfs <nfs mount>
# - Will mount nfs to <mnt>, and copy /proc/vmcore to
# <mnt>/<path>/%HOST-%DATE/, supports DNS.
#
# ssh <user@server>
# - Will scp /proc/vmcore to <user@server>:<path>/%HOST-%DATE/,
# supports DNS.
# NOTE: make sure the user has write permissions on the server.
#
# sshkey <path>
# - Will use the sshkey to do ssh dump.
# Specify the path of the ssh key to use when dumping
# via ssh. The default value is /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa.
#
# <fs type> <partition>
# - Will mount -t <fs type> <partition> <mnt>, and copy
# /proc/vmcore to <mnt>/<path>/%HOST_IP-%DATE/.
# NOTE: <partition> can be a device node, label or uuid.
# It's recommended to use persistent device names
# such as /dev/vg/<devname>.
# Otherwise it's suggested to use label or uuid.
#
# path <path>
# - "path" represents the file system path in which vmcore
# will be saved. If a dump target is specified in
# kdump.conf, then "path" is relative to the specified
# dump target.
#
# Interpretation of "path" changes a bit if the user didn't
# specify any dump target explicitly in kdump.conf. In this
# case, "path" represents the absolute path from root. The
# dump target and adjusted path are arrived at automatically
# depending on what's mounted in the current system.
#
# Ignored for raw device dumps. If unset, will use the default
# "/var/crash".
#
# core_collector <command> <options>
# - This allows you to specify the command to copy
# the vmcore. The default is makedumpfile, which on
# some architectures can drastically reduce vmcore size.
# See /sbin/makedumpfile --help for a list of options.
# Note that the -i and -g options are not needed here,
# as the initrd will automatically be populated with a
# config file appropriate for the running kernel.
# The default core_collector for raw/ssh dump is:
# "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 7 -d 31".
# The default core_collector for other targets is:
# "makedumpfile -l --message-level 7 -d 31".
#
# "makedumpfile -F" will create a flattened vmcore.
# You need to use "makedumpfile -R" to rearrange the dump data to
# a normal dumpfile readable with analysis tools. For example:
# "makedumpfile -R vmcore < vmcore.flat".
#
# For core_collector format details, you can refer to
# kexec-kdump-howto.txt or kdump.conf manpage.
#
# kdump_post <binary | script>
# - This directive allows you to run a executable binary
# or script after the vmcore dump process terminates.
# The exit status of the current dump process is fed to
# the executable binary or script as its first argument.
# All files under /etc/kdump/post.d are collectively sorted
# and executed in lexical order, before binary or script
# specified kdump_post parameter is executed.
#
# kdump_pre <binary | script>
# - Works like the "kdump_post" directive, but instead of running
# after the dump process, runs immediately before it.
# Exit status of this binary is interpreted as follows:
# 0 - continue with dump process as usual
# non 0 - run the final action (reboot/poweroff/halt)
# All files under /etc/kdump/pre.d are collectively sorted and
# executed in lexical order, after binary or script specified
# kdump_pre parameter is executed.
# Even if the binary or script in /etc/kdump/pre.d directory
# returns non 0 exit status, the processing is continued.
#
# extra_bins <binaries | shell scripts>
# - This directive allows you to specify additional binaries or
# shell scripts to be included in the kdump initrd.
# Generally they are useful in conjunction with a kdump_post
# or kdump_pre binary or script which depends on these extra_bins.
#
# extra_modules <module(s)>
# - This directive allows you to specify extra kernel modules
# that you want to be loaded in the kdump initrd.
# Multiple modules can be listed, separated by spaces, and any
# dependent modules will automatically be included.
#
# failure_action <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
# - Action to perform in case dumping fails.
# reboot: Reboot the system.
# halt: Halt the system.
# poweroff: Power down the system.
# shell: Drop to a bash shell.
# Exiting the shell reboots the system by default,
# or perform "final_action".
# dump_to_rootfs: Dump vmcore to rootfs from initramfs context and
# reboot by default or perform "final_action".
# Useful when non-root dump target is specified.
# The default option is "reboot".
#
# default <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | dump_to_rootfs>
# - Same as the "failure_action" directive above, but this directive
# is obsolete and will be removed in the future.
#
# final_action <reboot | halt | poweroff>
# - Action to perform in case dumping succeeds. Also performed
# when "shell" or "dump_to_rootfs" failure action finishes.
# Each action is same as the "failure_action" directive above.
# The default is "reboot".
#
# force_rebuild <0 | 1>
# - By default, kdump initrd will only be rebuilt when necessary.
# Specify 1 to force rebuilding kdump initrd every time when kdump
# service starts.
#
# force_no_rebuild <0 | 1>
# - By default, kdump initrd will be rebuilt when necessary.
# Specify 1 to bypass rebuilding of kdump initrd.
#
# force_no_rebuild and force_rebuild options are mutually
# exclusive and they should not be set to 1 simultaneously.
#
# override_resettable <0 | 1>
# - Usually an unresettable block device can't be a dump target.
# Specifying 1 when you want to dump even though the block
# target is unresettable
# By default, it is 0, which will not try dumping destined to fail.
#
# dracut_args <arg(s)>
# - Pass extra dracut options when rebuilding kdump initrd.
#
# fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
# - Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain
# all valid arguments except hosts to send notification to).
#
# fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
# - List of cluster node(s) except localhost, separated by spaces,
# to send fence_kdump notifications to.
# (this option is mandatory to enable fence_kdump).
