Version 5 servers now use kexec with a kdump facility mechanism that will allow for remote dumping of the core. I'm not sure if netdump is functionally supported in your version of the kernel.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:23:19 -0500<br>From: srianirudh@gmail.com<br>To: crash-utility@redhat.com<br>Subject: [Crash-utility] netdump issue<br><br><div>I am implementing a netdump . I crashed one sever and got the vmcore file in /var/crash/vmcore , then i checked the kernel version through </div>
<div> </div>
<div>strings vmcore | fgrep -m1 'Linux'</div>
<div>Linux version 2.4.21-40.ELsmp (<a>bhcompile@hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com</a>) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54)) #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 22:22:39 EST 2006<br>
</div>
<div>So now while installing the kernel-debuginfo , it should match the version above i.e something like "kernel-debuginfo.2.4.21.40.ELsmp.i368.rpm"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But i installed the closest one and that was kernel-debuginfo.2.4.21.40.EL.i386.rpm but after installing them i should have /usr/lib/debug/module/vmlinux , which i could'nt see them . </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can anyone give me the link to the rpm i am looking for , or suggest some idea. ( the server that i am dumping vmcore is version 5 )<br clear="all"></div>
<div>I have bunch of server with version 2 and version 3 and version 4 in my production environment for which i have to configure netdump to collect the vmcore in version 5 server . <br>--</div>
