RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Miguel Perez Colino 2012-02-21 15:11:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
When using kdump, the network destinations can only be NFSv3 or SSH with shell access.
The NFSv3 only destination requires extra network configuration to enable portmapping, compared to NFSv4. Adding this option would ease configuration and maintenance.
The SSH option launches remote commands, like mktemp, to perform the dump. The destination service cannot be restricted to SFTP or SCP only (and sometimes cannot be a different unix-like system, as happened with HP/UX).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Enable a remote system with NFSv4 only or SFTP only. Configure a local system to use that destination for kdump. Force a panic in the local system to make it try to dump in the remote system.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable a remote system with NFSv4 only or SFTP only.
2.Configure a local system to use that destination for kdump.
3.Force a panic in the local system to make it try to dump in the remote system.
  
Actual results:
No dump is stored in the remote system.

Expected results:
Dump is stored in the remote system.

Additional info:
I'd suggest keeping "net" option in the kdump.conf file for backwards compatibility, and adding "nfs3", "nfs4", "ssh" and "sftp". In my dreams I even would include "rsync" (without ssh, pure rsync) :-D

Rename "nfs3" to "nfs", to sync with the names in "mount".
