``crashkernel``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Configures the kernel parameter ``crashkernel``, which specifies the amount of
|
|
memory to be reserved for the crash kernel. This can be ``auto`` or ``xxxM``.
|
|
Further information is provided by `Red Hat
|
|
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-kdump-configuration.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``target``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The target for kernel dumps as documented in ``kdump.conf(5)``. Currently SSH
|
|
targets do not work, as there is no way to specify an SSH key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Transfer kernel dumps to a remote server using NFS::
|
|
|
|
class {'kdump':
|
|
target => 'nfs some-server.psi.ch/crashes/',
|
|
}
