Synopsis
netdump bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated netdump files that address various bugs are now available.
Description
The netdump client sets up the kernel to send crash dumps to a remote
system. Some manual setup is required in order to set up secure dumps.
The netdump LOCALPORT value was not being passed to the netdump module for
2.6 kernels. This created a problem for systems that are configured as
both a netdump server and client as they both default to port 6666. The
LOCALPORT value is now correctly passed.
The netdump client did not set the source IP address when NETLOGADDR was
set to destination IP address. With this patch, the NETLOGADDR is correctly
set.
Enhanced the netdump server to allow users to configure the dump target
location. The user can now specify a --dumpdir option when starting the
netdump server service, which specifies the directory in which vmcores from
netdump clients are stored.
The netdump startup script passed the value from the netdump config file
directly to the netconsole module, which is incorrect (it should pass the
resolved IP address, not the FQDN). The result prior to this patch was that
the netconsole client would fail on the client if the SYSLOGADDR value were
specified as an FQDN instead of an IP address. This patch corrects this issue.
Users of netdump should upgrade to these updated packages. which resolve
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
