IBM BladeCenter Deployment Guide
Here is the link to the instructions from Red Hat that can be used to set up netdump:
http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/setup.html
The netdump server from the RHEL3U3 distribution is version 0.6.11-3.
Basically, here is what needs to be done at the server:
1) rpm -i netdump-server-0.6.11-3.i386.rpm
2) passwd netdump
3) chkconfig netdump-server on
4) service netdump-server start
And at the client
1) netdump client package probably already installed.
2) service netdump propagate
3) modify /etc/sysconfig/netdump. Add line NETDUMPADDR=10.0.0.26
4) chkconfig netdump on
5) service netdump start
Note, there have been instances reported where there have been dependency issues between netdump
and openssh. Here are the openssh packages that are installed on our test blade:
[root@katherini tmp]# rpm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-clients-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
openssh-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
openssh-server-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
