Kdump recommendations for large servers

Latest response

Especially database servers nowadays reach memory sizes where full kernel dumps are not feasible.

Are there any recommendations, how to configure kernel dumps on such systems?

Even with dump level set to 31, kernel dumps could require a lot of space...

What is the maximum memory size, where kernel dumps should be setup?
Do you only set it up, when requested by Red Hat or do you activate it for all servers?
