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.
