Description
I am trying to generate a kdump file of a VM running Centos 7 (HVM) on Xenserver 7.
I followed the following steps.
xe vm-list name-label=<name> params=uuid --minimal
xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm_uuid> actions-after-crash=preserve
For HVM guests, run the following command on dom0: <<< I had to google correct command for this part
/usr/sbin/xen-hvmcrash <vm-domid>
After running the crash command the VM halts and no dump file ever gets generated....
Per the link Preserve should "leave the VM in a paused state (for analysis)" but the VM just halts/shutsdown
Can anyone help with this? Or is there something else I need to do to setup kdump on Xenserver 7 for VMs?
