How does the kdump requirement for certification under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 affect my system?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • v7 Hardware Certification Test Suite

Issue

  • When using the v7 Hardware Certification Test Suite kdump is now required to pass on RHEL 6 for successful certification of your system.
  • What do I do if the kdump test fails when attempting to certify my machine?

Resolution

  • RHEL 6.0 and 6.1 certifications may optionally use RHEL 6.2 kdump results to satisfy the kdump testing criteria as the kdump requirement policy was established subsequent to these releases. This Knowledgebase entry will be added to those certs noting that RHEL 6.2 is required for kdump to functionality.
