Emily J. Ratliff <ratliff.com> - 
1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id:	[201624]
a. Name of Feature:	Intuitive dump device configuration workflow and dialogue
b. Feature Description
Distribution configuration tools need to provide a dialogue to prepare I/O devices for dump, during
the installation and post-installation.
 
 
 
 The dialogue needs to meet the following requirements:
 
 - intuitive, i.e. follow the expectation of the user
 
 - guided, i.e. online help texts should be available for each input field
 
 - undoable, i.e. customer should be able to correct mistakes

Additional Comments:	IBM System z Development has already done a study about what would be needed,
and as a result, there is some documentation and scripts which we would give to the distro, but the
distribution would have to implement it in the installer and post-installer GUI or TUI.

2. Feature Details:
Sponsor:	zSeries
Architectures:
s390x

Arch Specificity: Purely Arch Specific Code
Affects Installer: Yes
Affects Desktop: Yes
Delivery Mechanism: Request Red Hat development assistance
Category:	zSeries
Request Type:	Installer - Enhancement from Distributor
d. Upstream Acceptance:	No Code Required
Sponsor Priority	1
f. Severity: High
IBM Confidential:	no
Code Contribution:	no
g. Component Version Target:	n/a

3. Business Case
The customer will have a dump disk ready to use if any problem occurs without having troubles to
configure it, which will result on a better serviceability, and in result improve the customer
satisfaction.

Per agreement with John,

Tracking this feature request with the old RHEL 5.4 request - deferred to 5.5
to have done discussions included. That is
LTC 50528 - RHBZ 475520 [LTC 5.4 FEAT] Intuitive dump device configuration workflow and dialogue [201624]

Closing this new created request  as DUP
