Documentation: step by step guide on confiuring kdump in live images
This is a short document about how to setup kdump on live images. All steps were tested on Fedora 25 Alpha LiveCD and saved vmcore captured by kdump to a USB stick successfully. Signed-off-by: Tong Li <tonli@redhat.com> Acked-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>

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
