4.25. Fence kdump
Table 4.26, “Fence kdump” lists the fence device parameters used by
fence_dkump, the fence agent for kdump crash recovery service. Note that fence_kdump is not a replacement for traditional fencing methods; The fence_kdump agent can detect only that a node has entered the kdump crash recovery service. This allows the kdump crash recovery service to complete without being preempted by traditional power fencing methods.
