Fixed In Version:	kexec-tools-2.0.25-7.el9	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	.The `kexec-tools` package now adds improvements on remote `kdump` targets With this enhancement, the `kexec-tools` package adds significant bug fixes and enhancements. The most notable changes include: * Optimized memory consumption for `kdump` by enabling only the required network interfaces. * Improved network efficiency for `kdump` in events of connection timeout failures. + The default wait time for a network to establish is 10 minutes maximum. This removes the need to pass `dracut` parameters, such as `rd.net.timeout.carrier` or `rd.net.timeout.dhcp` as a workaround to identify a carrier.	Story Points:	---

Description Coiby 2022-04-19 02:16:44 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently, kexec-tools parses ifcfg-* or .nmconnection network configuration files to build up dracut cmdline parameter like ip= to set up kdump network which is tedious, error-prone and unnecessary. A better way is to reuse connection profiles in the first kernel to set kdump network.
