Description of problem: Netdump does not working using a bonded interface Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):netdump-0.7.14-4 How reproducible:Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set DEV=bond0 in /etc/sysconfig/netdump 2. Sstart netdump /etc/init.d/netdump 3. Failure Actual results: initializing netdump FATAL: Error inserting netdump (/lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/netdump.ko): Invalid argument [FAILED] initializing netconsole FATAL: Error inserting netconsole (/lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko): Invalid argument [FAILED] Expected results: Netdump starts and sends data to server Additional info:
I like to mention that netdump works on bonded interfaces in RHEL3.
What's the status on this issue?
I am seeing this exact same problem on RHEL 4. Red Hat Support asked me to send them a sysreport and setup netdump to capture more on kernel panics related to bug #191831 (SR899432). netdump-server configured and started fine. netdump client, however, raised this error at first: [root@pegasus ~]# service netdump start --------------------------------------- netdump: cannot arp 192.168.2.6 on eth0 netdump: cannot find 192.168.3.9 in arp cache netdump: can't resolve 192.168.3.9 MAC address netdump server address resolution [FAILED] --------------------------------------- It's obvious from this that netdump is looking on the wrong interface since we're using a dual-bonded setup. "arp -a" shows everything bound to "bond0". There is nothing in the man or info pages describing config options for netdump. After looking at the startup script I figured I had to set "DEV=bond0" in /etc/sysconfig/netdump. Now I get this: [root@pegasus ~]# service netdump start --------------------------------------- initializing netdump FATAL: Error inserting netdump (/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/netdump.ko): Invalid argument [FAILED] initializing netconsole FATAL: Error inserting netconsole (/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko): Invalid argument [FAILED] --------------------------------------- Note: I had to revert to a previous kernel while Red Hat Support works on the kernel panics I'm getting with the current RHEL 4 kernel.
RHEL4 U4 introduced support for netdump over bonded interfaces. What update version is being used?
I was using update 2
