Abstract
Techniques for managing crash in a host computing system in a cluster are disclosed. In one embodiment, a core dump partition may be configured in memory associated with a remote access controller (RAC) within the host computing system. When the host computing system is crashed, a screen shot associated with the host computing system is obtained through the RAC. Further, a first occurrence of crash in the host computing system is determined based on the obtained screen shot. Furthermore, the core dump file associated with the first occurrence of crash is copied from the core dump partition to a shared datastore. Also, the host computing system is reset through the RAC upon copying the core dump file to the shared datastore.
