kdump-config propagate is a manual configuration option that needs to remain as such. It creates a passwordless ssh key and will propagate to the remote ssh server, which most probably will prompt for the remote server's password in doing so.
This cannot be done systematically. It also has a direct impact on the security of remote servers so it must be an <opt in> requirement from the user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415562 Title: [Ubuntu 15.04] Support firmware assisted dump on ppc64le Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Starting from POWER6, the firmware now has a capability to preserve the partition memory dump during system crash and boot into a fresh copy of the kernel with fully-reset system. This feature adds the necessary support to exploit the dump capture capability provided by Power firmware. With this feature support, the production kernel will register for firmware-assisted dump using RTAS (Runtime Abstraction Service) calls and builds required ELF header which then gets exported through '/proc/vmcore' in the second kernel after crash. This feature improves Power serviceability by making it more robust compared to current kdump mechanism on Linux. Ubuntu 15.04 kernel already includes the necessary code for fadump. The only kernel change needed is to enable CONFIG_FA_DUMP in the kernel configuration. In addition, an update is needed for a script in kdump-tools package.
