Method and system for a reliable kernel core dump on multiple partitioned platform

摘要

A method and system for generating and obtaining reliable core dump from a multiple partitioned platform is described. The method generated a system core dump by a first operating system in a first partition, in response to detecting a predetermined event. The core dump may be stored in a shared memory accessible to a plurality of operating systems. An interrupt is sent when a core dump is generated. Upon a detection of the interrupt, the core dump may be accessed by a second operating system in a second partition for analysis. Other embodiments of inventions are described in the claims.
