CHAPTER 4 Work Required After Operating System Installation
4.9.3 kdump initial setting
This section explains the initial settings for use of the dump function provided by the
distribution. Although kdump is included in RHEL5 (IPF), the required packages
may not be applied depending on the setting for applying RHEL5 (IPF). This section
explains how to make the initial setting for kdump, including the application of these
packages. The operation flow of the initial setting for kdump is as follows:
Install kexec-tools
Set dump saving area label
Set dump environment
Check kdump service
Restart system
Confirm kdump collection
4.9.3.1 Installing kexec-tools
The package kexec-tools, which is required for kdump, may not automatically be
installed depending on how RHEL5 (IPF) is installed. When necessary, therefore,
install it manually as follows:
# rpm -q kexec-tools
# rpm -ivh kexec-tools-<version/level to be installed>.el5.ia64.rpm
kernel-debuginfo and kernel-debuginfo-common may also need to be installed.
When necessary, install them as follows:
# rpm -q kernel-debuginfo-common
# rpm -q kernel-debuginfo
# rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-common-<version/level to be installed>
.el5.ia64.rpm
# rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-<version/level to be installed>.el5.ia64.rpm
