Issue
What special considerations are needed for kdump support on the certified system associated with this Red Hat Knowledgebase solution?
Resolution
This system was tested using the kexec-tools package from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3, making that the earliest version of the OS where kdump support has been demonstrated.
Root Cause
Due to changes in the parameters used to configure network-based kdump, the Red Hat Certification Test Suite requires the kexec-tools package from RHEL 6.3 (kexec-tools-2.0.0-245.el6) or newer for proper testing.
