Synopsis
kexec-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kexec-tools packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The kexec fastboot mechanism allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of
an already running kernel. The kexec-tools package provides the /sbin/kexec
binary and ancillary utilities that form the user-space component of the
kernel's kexec feature.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When one interface was used for a iSCSI boot environment while is other was
used by kdump with the "net" option on, the ifconfig utility caused an error.
Consequently, vmcore was not collected in a dump server that stores vmcore
specified in the kdump.conf file. This bug has been fixed and a memory dump
capture now succeeds by kdump in an iSCSI boot environment. (BZ#822617)
Users of kexec-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
