Dumpconf Service

The dumpconf service configures the action to take if a kernel panic or PSW restart occur.

Note: For information about implementing the dumpconf service, see Appendix C in IBM Linux on System z Using the Dump Tools SC33-8412.

This cod is an example configuration for a CCW dump device (DASD) using vmcmd and DELAY_MINUTES:

ON_PANIC=vmcmd
VMCMD_1="MSG MASTER Starting VMDUMP"
VMCMD_2="VMDUMP"
VMCMD_3="IPL 201 CLEAR"
DELAY_MINUTES=5
