Creating a kernel dump of Linux in LPAR mode or of a z/VM guest

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 LPAR mode z/VM guest

The dump tools for Linux in LPAR mode and Linux as a z/VM® guest include stand-alone dump tools, kdump, and zgetdump.

With kdump in place, a dump is triggered automatically by a kernel panic. Use the zgetdump command for a live-system dump.

For Linux as a z/VM guest you can also use VMDUMP.

For details about the dump tools, see Using the Dump Tools on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 9.2, SC34-7751.
