No Netdump

[brian_31]

We have not setup the netdump yet. meanwhile, looking at other options for looking into potential issues we may have. some thoughts i had was
1. dmidecode (look for errors..some memory errors may show here
2. dmesg
3. messages

any other ideas?

Thanks

what about savecore..man savecore talks about dump configuration and its usage. have anyone used it?

Thanks

If you're using Red Hat you might want to install the diskdump utils to be able to analyse a crash.

For more information I refer to the Red Hat site, for example: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_43_4220.shtm

If you want to get more information about hardware failures and you're using a HP ProLiant server with Red Hat or SuSE I suggest you install the Proliant Support Pack. Make sure you install the following parts: hpsmh & hpasm (our default is: hpsmh, hpasm, hprsm, hponcfg, cpqacuxe).

so, dmidecode wont even help?
