Topic

An update for kexec-tools is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The kexec-tools packages contain the /sbin/kexec binary and utilities that
together form the user-space component of the kernel's kexec feature. The
/sbin/kexec binary facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's
kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. The kexec fastboot
mechanism allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of an already
running kernel.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

  • [RHEL7] kdump service restarts a lot of times during boot phase on some

large memory systems (BZ#1939396)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
