# 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 a time. If dump# to configured dump target fails, the default action will be preformed.# Default action may be configured with the "default" directive below.## Basics commands supported are:# path <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 <command> <options># - 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 /usr/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.# For ssh dump, scp should be used instead of cp.## raw <partition> - Will write /proc/vmcore into raw <partition>.## nfs <nfs mount> - Will mount fs and copy /proc/vmcore to# <mnt>/<path>/%HOST-%DATE/, supports DNS.## nfs4 <nfs mount> - Will use NFSv4 instead of NFSv3## net <nfs mount> - This is a deprecated option to transfer vmcore over# nfs. Use "nfs" option instead.## ssh <user@server> - Will copy /proc/vmcore to# <user@server>:<path>/%HOST-%DATE/ via SSH,# supports DNS. If makedumpfile is the core_collector,# it is piped to an "ssh" shell, otherwise use the# specified core_collector like scp.# NOTE: make sure user has necessary write# permissions on server## net <user@server> - This is a deprecated option to transfer vmcore over# ssh. Use "ssh" option instead.## <fs type> <partition> - Will mount -t <fs type> <partition> /mnt and copy# /proc/vmcore to /mnt/<path>/127.0.0.1-%DATE/.# NOTE: <partition> can be a device node, label or uuid.## disk_timeout <seconds># - Number of seconds to wait for disks to appear prior# to continue to save dump. By default kdump waits# 180 seconds for the disks to show up it needs. This# can be useful in some cases if disk never shows up# (Either because disk was removed or because kdump is# waiting on wrong disk).## link_delay <seconds># - Some network cards take a long time to initialize, and# some spanning tree enabled networks do not transmit# user traffic for long periods after a link state# changes. This optional parameter defines a wait# period after a link is activated in which the# initramfs will wait before attempting to transmit# user data.## kdump_post <binary | script># - 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 <binary | script># - 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/halt the system## extra_bins <binaries | shell scripts># - 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 <module(s)># - 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.# Module name should be specified without ".ko" suffix.## options <module> <option list># - This directive allows you to specify options to apply# to modules in the initramfs. This directive overrides# options specified in /etc/modprobe.conf. Module name# should be specified without ".ko" suffix.## blacklist <module># - The blacklist keyword indicates that all of that# particular modules are to be ignored in the initramfs.# General terminology for blacklist has been that module# is present in initramfs but it is not actually loaded# in kernel. This directive can be specified multiple# times or as a space separated list. Module name should# be specified without ".ko" suffix.## sshkey <path># - Specifies the path of the ssh identity file you want# to use when doing ssh dump. It must be a private key,# the default value is /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa. When# progagating public key, the key is assumed to be# identity_file.pub which by default is# /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa.pub.## default <reboot | halt | poweroff | shell | mount_root_run_init># - 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 hush session inside the initramfs from# where you can try to record the core manually.# Exiting this shell reboots the system.# mount_root_run_init: Mount root filesystem and run init. Kdump# initscript will try to save dump to root# filesystem in /var/crash dir. This will# likely require a lot more memory to# be reserved for kdump kernel.## debug_mem_level <0-3># - Turns on debug/verbose output of kdump scripts# regarding free/used memory at various points of# execution. Higher level means more debugging output.# 0 - no output# 1 - partial /proc/meminfo# 2 - /proc/meminfo# 3 - /proc/meminfo + /proc/slabinfo## force_rebuild <0 | 1># - By default, kdump initrd only will be rebuilt when# necessary. Specify 1 here to force rebuilding kdump# initrd every time when kdump service starts.## 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) separated by space to send fence_kdump# notification to (this option is mandatory to enable fence_kdump).#raw /dev/sda5#ext4 /dev/sda3#ext4 LABEL=/boot#ext4 UUID=03138356-5e61-4ab3-b58e-27507ac41937#net my.server.com:/export/tmp#net user@my.server.compath /var/crashcore_collector makedumpfile -c --message-level 1 -d 31#core_collector scp#core_collector cp --sparse=always#extra_bins /bin/cp#link_delay 60#kdump_post /var/crash/scripts/kdump-post.sh#extra_bins /usr/bin/lftp#disk_timeout 30#extra_modules gfs2#options modulename options#default shell#debug_mem_level 0#force_rebuild 1#sshkey /root/.ssh/kdump_id_rsa#fence_kdump_args -p 7410 -f auto -c 0 -i 10#fence_kdump_nodes node1 node2
