I was curious if anyone had any information on configuring a kernel core dump capture on zLinux (SLES 10)? Based on my research so far, Novell's standard configuration method only applies to SLES 10/SLED 10 on the x86, PPC64, and IA-64 architecture, as noted below:

It seems to be pointing in the right direction, but wasn't sure if anyone had any experience with implementing this; did it work, lessons learned, was it useful, same results as a standard core dump, etc. Configuring a IBM System z Linux server for a core dump On IBM System z systems, a different methodology is used for capturing kernel crash dumps. It is documented in IBM's documentation Linux on System z - Using the Dump Tools available as http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/linux390/docu/l26c dt01.pdf (or via http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/history.html) and needs the s390-tools to package be installed.
