Kdump integration is enabled for host 'XYZ', but kdump is not configured properly on host

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 3.x
  • Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) 4.x

Issue

Getting the below message in RHEV Portal, while activating a host:

Kdump integration is enabled for host 'XYZ', but kdump is not configured properly on host

Resolution

The Host need to be reinstalled in order to push new Kdump integration configuration. Please switch the host to Maintenance Mode, then Right-Click and select Installation->Reinstall.

If the Host is the first and only Self-Hosted Engine Host, a second host needs to be deployed. Once the Hosted-Engine VM is migrated to the second host, the first host can be moved to Maintenance Mode and reinstalled.

Root Cause

  • As stated in the Documentation, the Host needs to be re-installed once Kdump Integration is enabled.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Check if the host is able to communicate with the listener service in the Manager which is listening on port 7410.
  • Check the status of listener service.
service ovirt-fence-kdump-listener status
