Topic

Updated kexec-tools packages that fix one bug are now available.

Description

  • When the kexec-tools was used on a bridge device containing a tap interface member connected to the OpenVPN software, the kdump mechanism failed to start due to the missing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* configuration file for the tap interface, which is one type of the unsupported logical network interfaces. Because the bridge is able to work without the logical member, if it contains at least one physical interface, with this update, kdump skips the unsupported logical interface. As a result, kdump now starts as expected in the described situation. (BZ#1375890)

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
