Why kdump fails to generate vmcore on systems with SAS raid controller when FDO [firmware device order] is enabled in raid controller properties?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • kdump times out as megaraid_sas is unable to detect disk and 'dracut-initqueue timeout' are observed. The issue only happens with FDO is enabled.
