# Configures where to put the kdump /proc/vmcore files # # This file contains a series of commands to perform (in order) when a # kernel crash has happened and the kdump kernel has been loaded. Directives in # this file are only applicable to the kdump initramfs, and have no effect if # the root filesystem is mounted and the normal init scripts are processed # # Currently only one dump target and path may be configured at once # if the configured dump target fails, the default action will be preformed # the default action may be configured with the default directive below. If the # configured dump target succedes # # Basics commands supported are: # raw - Will dd /proc/vmcore into . # Use persistent device names for partition devices, # such as /dev/vg/. # # nfs - Will mount fs and copy /proc/vmcore to # /var/crash/%HOST-%DATE/, supports DNS. # # ssh - Will scp /proc/vmcore to # :/var/crash/%HOST-%DATE/, supports DNS # NOTE: make sure user has necessary write # permissions on server # # sshkey - Will use the sshkey to do ssh dump # Specifies the path of the ssh key you want to use # when do ssh dump, the default value is # /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa. # # - Will mount -t /mnt and copy # /proc/vmcore to /mnt/var/crash/%DATE/. # NOTE: can be a device node, label or uuid. # It's recommended to use persistent device names # such as /dev/vg/. # Otherwise it's suggested to use label or uuid. # # path - Append path to the filesystem device which you are # dumping to. Ignored for raw device dumps. # If unset, will default to /var/crash. # # core_collector # - This allows you to specify the command to copy # the vmcore. You could use the dump filtering # program makedumpfile, the default one, to retrieve # your core, which on some arches can drastically # reduce core file 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. # Default core_collector for raw/ssh dump is: # "makedumpfile -F -l --message-level 1 -d 31". # Default core_collector for other targets is: # "makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31". # For core_collector format details please refer to # kexec-kdump-howto.txt or kdump.conf manpage. # # kdump_post # - This directive allows you to run a specified # executable just after the memory dump process # terminates. The exit status from the dump process # is fed to the kdump_post executable, which can be # used to trigger different actions for success or # failure. # # kdump_pre # - works just like the kdump_post directive, but instead # of running after the dump process, runs immediately # before. Exit status of this binary is interpreted # as follows: # 0 - continue with dump process as usual # non 0 - reboot the system # # extra_bins # - This directive allows you to specify additional # binaries or shell scripts you'd like to include in # your kdump initrd. Generally only useful in # conjunction with a kdump_post binary or script that # relies on other binaries or scripts. # # extra_modules # - This directive allows you to specify extra kernel # modules that you want to be loaded in the kdump # initrd, typically used to set up access to # non-boot-path dump targets that might otherwise # not be accessible in the kdump environment. Multiple # modules can be listed, separated by a space, and any # dependent modules will automatically be included. # # default # - Action to preform in case dumping to intended target # fails. If no default action is specified, "reboot" # is assumed default. # reboot: If the default action is reboot simply reboot # the system and loose the core that you are # trying to retrieve. # halt: If the default action is halt, then simply # halt the system after attempting to capture # a vmcore, regardless of success or failure. # poweroff: The system will be powered down # shell: If the default action is shell, then drop to # an shell session inside the initramfs from # where you can try to record the core manually. # Exiting this shell reboots the system. # Note: kdump uses bash as the default shell. # dump_to_rootfs: If non-root dump target is specified, # the default action can be set as dump_to_rootfs. # That means when dump to target fails, dump vmcore # to rootfs from initramfs context and reboot. # # force_rebuild <0 | 1> # - By default, kdump initrd only will be rebuilt when # necessary. Specify 1 to force rebuilding kdump # initrd every time when kdump service starts. # #override_resettable <0 | 1> # - Usually a unresettable block device can't be dump target. # Specifying 1 means though block target is unresettable, user # understand this situation and want to try dumping. By default, # it's set to 0, means not to try a destined failure. # # dracut_args # - Pass extra dracut options when rebuilding kdump # initrd. #raw /dev/vg/lv_kdump #ext4 /dev/vg/lv_kdump #ext4 LABEL=/boot #ext4 UUID=03138356-5e61-4ab3-b58e-27507ac41937 #nfs my.server.com:/export/tmp #ssh user@my.server.com #sshkey /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa path /var/crash core_collector makedumpfile -l --message-level 1 -d 31 #core_collector scp #kdump_post /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh #kdump_pre /var/crash/scripts/kdump-pre.sh #extra_bins /usr/bin/lftp #extra_modules gfs2 #default shell #force_rebuild 1 #dracut_args --omit-drivers "cfg80211 snd" --add-drivers "ext2 ext3"
