Kdump now works on live images with some manual configurations. Here is the step
|
||
|
|
by step guide.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Enable crashkernel reservation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since there isn't any config file that can be used to configure kernel
|
||
|
|
parameters for live images before booting them, we have to append 'crashkernel'
|
||
|
|
argument in boot menu every time we boot a live image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Change dump target in /etc/kdump.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When kdump kernel boots in a live environment, the default target /var/crash is
|
||
|
|
in RAM so you need to change the dump target to an external disk or a network
|
||
|
|
dump target.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Start kdump service
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ kdumpctl start
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Trigger a kdump test
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
|
||
|
|
$ echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
|
