Overview
Kexec
Kexec is a fastboot mechanism which allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of already running kernel without going through BIOS. BIOS can be very time consuming especially on the big servers with lots of peripherals. This can save a lot of time for developers who end up booting a machine numerous times.

Kdump
Kdump is a new kernel crash dumping mechanism and is very reliable because the crash dump is captured from the context of a freshly booted kernel and not from the context of the crashed kernel. Kdump uses kexec to boot into a second kernel whenever system crashes. This second kernel, often called a capture kernel, boots with very little memory and captures the dump image.

Next up, we need to modify some boot parameters to reserve a chunk of memory for the capture kernel. For i686 and x86_64, edit /etc/grub.conf, and append "crashkernel=128M@16M" to the end of your kernel line. Similarly, append the same to the append line in /etc/yaboot.conf for ppc64, followed by a /sbin/ybin to load the new configuration (not needed for grub). On ia64, edit /etc/elilo.conf, adding "crashkernel=256M@256M" to the append line for your kernel. Note that the X@Y values are such that X = the amount of memory to reserve for the capture kernel and Y = the offset into memory at which that reservation should start.

After making said changes, reboot your system, so that the X MB of memory starting Y MB into your memory is left untouched by the normal system, reserved for the capture kernel. Take note that the output of 'free -m' will show X MB less memory than without this parameter, which is expected. You may be able to get by with less than 128M, but testing with only 64M has proven unreliable of late. On ia64, as much as 512M may be required.

Dump Triggering methods:
This section talks about the various ways, other than a Kernel Panic, in which
Kdump can be triggered. The following methods assume that Kdump is configured
on your system, with the scripts enabled as described in the section above.
1) AltSysRq C
Kdump can be triggered with the combination of the 'Alt','SysRq' and 'C'
keyboard keys. Please refer to the following link for more details:
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_43_5559.shtm
In addition, on PowerPC boxes, Kdump can also be triggered via Hardware
Management Console(HMC) using 'Ctrl', 'O' and 'C' keyboard keys.
2) NMI_WATCHDOG
In case a machine has a hard hang, it is quite possible that it does not
respond to keyboard interrupts. As a result 'Alt-SysRq' keys will not help
trigger a dump. In such scenarios Nmi Watchdog feature can prove to be useful.
The following link has more details on configuring Nmi watchdog option.
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_85_9129.shtm
Once this feature has been enabled in the kernel, any lockups will result in an
OOPs message to be generated, followed by Kdump being triggered.
Please refrain from simultaneously enabling 'nmi_watchdog' and setting
/proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic, as this would result in a Kernel Panic
from legitimate NMIs generated by the nmi_watchdog.
3) Kernel OOPs
If we want to generate a dump everytime the Kernel OOPses, we can achieve this
by setting the 'Panic On OOPs' option as follows:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops
This is enabled by default on RHEL5.
4) NMI(Non maskable interrupt) button
In cases where the system is in a hung state, and is not accepting keyboard
interrupts, using NMI button for triggering Kdump can be very useful. NMI
button is present on most of the newer x86 and x86_64 machines. Please refer
to the User guides/manuals to locate the button, though in most occasions it
is not very well documented. In most cases it is hidden behind a small hole
on the front or back panel of the machine. You could use a toothpick or some
other non-conducting probe to press the button.
For example, on the IBM X series 366 machine, the NMI button is located behind
a small hole on the bottom center of the rear panel.
To enable this method of dump triggering using NMI button, you will need to set
the 'unknown_nmi_panic' option as follows:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic
When enabling unknown_nmi_panic please be careful not to enable Nmi Watchdog
feature, else the system will panic.
5) PowerPC specific methods:
On IBM PowerPC machines, issuing a soft reset invokes the XMON debugger(if
XMON is configured). To configure XMON one needs to compile the kernel with
the CONFIG_XMON and CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT options, or by compiling with
CONFIG_XMON and booting the kernel with xmon=on option.
Following are the ways to remotely issue a soft reset on PowerPC boxes, which
would drop you to XMON. Pressing a 'X' (capital alphabet X) followed by an
'Enter' here will trigger the dump.
5.1) HMC
Hardware Management Console(HMC) available on Power4 and Power5 machines allow
partitions to be reset remotely. This is specially useful in hang situations
where the system is not accepting any keyboard inputs.
Once you have HMC configured, the following steps will enable you to trigger
Kdump via a soft reset:
On Power4
Using GUI
* In the right pane, right click on the partition you wish to dump.
* Select "Operating System->Reset".
* Select "Soft Reset".
* Select "Yes".
Using HMC Commandline
# reset_partition -m <machine> -p <partition> -t soft
On Power5
Using GUI
* In the right pane, right click on the partition you wish to dump.
* Select "Restart Partition".
* Select "Dump".
* Select "OK".
Using HMC Commandline
# chsysstate -m <managed system name> -n <lpar name> -o dumprestart -r lpar
5.2) Blade Management Console for Blade Center
To initiate a dump operation, go to Power/Restart option under "Blade Tasks" in
the Blade Management Console. Select the corresponding blade for which you want
to initate the dump and then click "Restart blade with NMI". This issues a
system reset and invokes xmon debugger.
Advanced Setups:
In addition to being able to capture a vmcore to your system's local file
system, kdump can be configured to capture a vmcore to a number of other
locations, including a raw disk partition, a dedicated file system, an NFS
mounted file system, or a remote system via ssh/scp. Additional options
exist for specifying the relative path under which the dump is captured,
what to do if the capture fails, and for compressing and filtering the dump
(so as to produce smaller, more manageable, vmcore files).
In theory, dumping to a location other than the local file system should be
safer than kdump's default setup, as its possible the default setup will try
dumping to a file system that has become corrupted. The raw disk partition and
dedicated file system options allow you to still dump to the local system,
but without having to remount your possibly corrupted file system(s),
thereby decreasing the chance a vmcore won't be captured. Dumping to an
NFS server or remote system via ssh/scp also has this advantage, as well
as allowing for the centralization of vmcore files, should you have several
systems from which you'd like to obtain vmcore files. Of course, note that
these configurations could present problems if your network is unreliable.
Advanced setups are configured via modifications to /etc/kdump.conf,
which out of the box, is fairly well documented itself. Any alterations to
/etc/kdump.conf should be followed by a restart of the kdump service, so
the changes can be incorporated in the kdump initrd. Restarting the kdump
service is as simple as '/sbin/service kdump restart'.
Note that kdump.conf is used as a configuration mechanism for capturing dump
files from the initramfs (in the interests of safety), the root file system is
mounted, and the init process is started, only as a last resort if the
initramfs fails to capture the vmcore. As such, configuration made in
/etc/kdump.conf is only applicable to capture recorded in the initramfs. If
for any reason the init process is started on the root file system, only a
simple copying of the vmcore from /proc/vmcore to /var/crash/$DATE/vmcore will
be preformed.
Raw partition
Raw partition dumping requires that a disk partition in the system, at least
as large as the amount of memory in the system, be left unformatted. Assuming
/dev/sda5 is left unformatted, kdump.conf can be configured with 'raw
/dev/sda5', and the vmcore file will be copied via dd directly onto partition
/dev/sda5. Restart the kdump service via '/sbin/service kdump restart'
to commit this change to your kdump initrd.
Dedicated file system
Similar to raw partition dumping, you can format a partition with the file
system of your choice, leaving it unmounted during normal operation. Again,
it should be at least as large as the amount of memory in the system. Assuming
/dev/sda3 has been formatted ext3, specify 'ext3 /dev/sda3' in kdump.conf,
and a vmcore file will be copied onto the file system after it has been
mounted. Dumping to a dedicated partition has the advantage that you can dump
multiple vmcores to the file system, space permitting, without overwriting
previous ones, as would be the case in a raw partition setup. Restart the
kdump service via '/sbin/service kdump restart' to commit this change to
your kdump initrd. Note that for local file systems ext3 and ext2 are
supported as dumpable targets. Kdump will not prevent you from specifying
other filesystems, and they will most likely work, but their operation
cannot be guaranteed. for instance specifying a vfat filesystem or msdos
filesystem will result in a successful load of the kdump service, but during
crash recovery, the dump will fail if the system has more than 2GB of memory
(since vfat and msdos filesystems do not support more than 2GB files).
Be careful of your filesystem selection when using this target.
NFS mount
Dumping over NFS requires an NFS server configured to export a file system
with full read/write access for the root user. All operations done within
the kdump initial ramdisk are done as root, and to write out a vmcore file,
we obviously must be able to write to the NFS mount. Configuring an NFS
server is outside the scope of this document, but either the no_root_squash
or anonuid options on the NFS server side are likely of interest to permit
the kdump initrd operations write to the NFS mount as root.
Assuming your're exporting /dump on the machine nfs-server.example.com,
once the mount is properly configured, specify it in kdump.conf, via 'net
nfs-server.example.com:/dump'. The server portion can be specified either
by host name or IP address. Following a system crash, the kdump initrd will
mount the NFS mount and copy out the vmcore to your NFS server. Restart the
kdump service via '/sbin/service kdump restart' to commit this change to
your kdump initrd.
Remote system via ssh/scp
Dumping over ssh/scp requires setting up passwordless ssh keys for every
machine you wish to have dump via this method. First up, configure kdump.conf
for ssh/scp dumping, adding a config line of 'net user@server', where 'user'
can be any user on the target system you choose, and 'server' is the host
name or IP address of the target system. Using a dedicated, restricted user
account on the target system is recommended, as there will be keyless ssh
access to this account.
Once kdump.conf is appropriately configured, issue the command '/sbin/service
kdump propagate' to automatically set up the ssh host keys and transmit
the necessary bits to the target server. You'll have to type in 'yes'
to accept the host key for your targer server if this is the first time
you've connected to it, and then input the target system user's password
to send over the necessary ssh key file. Restart the kdump service via
'/sbin/service kdump restart' to commit this change to your kdump initrd.
Path
By default, local file system vmcore files are written to /var/crash/%DATE
on the local system, ssh/scp dumps to /var/crash/%HOST-%DATE on the target
system, dedicated file system partition dumps to ./var/crash/%DATE, and
NFS dumps to ./var/crash/%HOST-%DATE, the latter two both relative to
their respective mount points within the kdump initrd (usually /mnt). The
'/var/crash' portion of the path can be overridden using kdump.conf's 'path'
variable, should you wish to write the vmcore out to a different location. For
example, 'path /data/coredumps' would lead to vmcore files being written to
/data/coredumps/%DATE if you were dumping to your local file system. Note
that the path option is ingnored if your kdump configuration results in the
core being saved from the initscripts in the root filesystem.
Kdump Post-Capture Executable
It is possible to specify a custom script or binary you wish to run following
an attempt to capture a vmcore. The executable is passed an exit code from
the capture process, which can be used to trigger different actions from
within your post-capture executable.
Extra Binaries
If you have specific binaries or scripts you want to have made available
within your kdump initrd, you can specify them by their full path, and they
will be included in your kdump initrd, along with all dependent libraries.
This may be particularly useful for those running post-capture scripts that
rely on other binaries.
Extra Modules
By default, only the bare minimum of kernel modules will be included in your
kdump initrd. Should you wish to capture your vmcore files to a non-boot-path
storage device, such as an iscsi target disk or clustered file system, you may
need to manually specify additional kernel modules to load into your kdump
initrd.
Default action
By default, if a configured dump method fails, the kdump initrd falls back
to trying to dump to the local file system (i.e., into the file system(s)
you would have mounted under normal system operation). The system always
reboots following an attempted dump to your local file system, regardless
of success or failure.
However, for any of the advanced methods, if the dump fails, you can configure
the kdump initrd to skip trying to dump to the local file system, instead
immediately rebooting ('default reboot'), halting the system ('default halt')
or dropping you to a shell within the initrd ('default shell'), from which you
could try to capture the vmcore manually. Again, if the 'default' parameter is
unset, a local file system dump will be attempted, then the system will reboot.
Compression and filtering
The 'core_collector' parameter in kdump.conf allows you to specify a custom
dump capture method. The most common alternate method is makedumpfile, which
is a dump filtering and compression utility provided with kexec-tools. On
some architectures, it can drastically reduce the size of your vmcore files,
which becomes very useful on systems with large amounts of memory.
A typical setup is 'core_collector makedumpfile -c', but check the output of
'/sbin/makedumpfile --help' for a list of all available options (-i and -g
don't need to be specified, they're automatically taken care of). Note that
use of makedumpfile requires that the kernel-debuginfo package corresponding
with your running kernel be installed.
Also note that makedumpfile is only used from the initramfs. Saving a
core from the initscript in the root filesystem is considered a last ditch
effort, only used when the initramfs has failed to save the core properly.
As such only the cp utiltiy is used in the initscripts. The implication
here is that in order to use makedumpfile as your core collector, you must
specify a dump target in /etc/kdump.conf.
Caveats:
Console frame-buffers and X are not properly supported. If you typically run with something along the lines of "vga=791" in your kernel config line or have X running, console video will be garbled when a kernel is booted via kexec. Note that the kdump kernel should still be able to create a dump, and when the system reboots, video should be restored to normal.

kdump will attempt to determine which network interface to use when dumping to

This option is used to override that guess, so that the appropriate interface
will be activated in the kdump kernel.

Normally the created initrd image is compressed with \fBgzip\fR. If this
option is specified, the compression is skipped.
.TP
\fB-\-nopivot
Do not use the \fBpivot_root\fR system call as part of the initrd. This
lets \fBmkdumprd\fR build proper images for Linux 2.2 kernels at the expense
of some features. In particular, some filesystems (such as ext3) will not
work properly and filesystem options will not be used to mount root. This
option is not recommended, and will be removed in future versions.
.TP
\fB-\-omit-lvm-modules
Do not load any lvm modules, even if /etc/fstab expects them.

Load the modules \fImodule\fR in the initial ramdisk image. The module
gets loaded after any SCSI modules which are specified in

necessary.
