Disabling CMCI
In RHEL6.6 kernel 2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64, it is reported that the frequent occurrence of
CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt), which notifies the operating system of the detected
corrrectable error, may cause System panic.
To change the error detecting mode from "interrupt mode" to "polling mode", you need to add
"mce=no_cmci" to the kernel line in the "/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf".
The system must be rebooted if configuration file is modified.

Disabling kdump restart on udev triggered by logical processor offline
Add # at the top of the following line in /etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules file to disable the rule.
#SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
Restart udev after modifying configuration file.
udevadm control --reload-rules
Note
kdump is restarted when capmonitor executes script upon completion of Core
Offline. You need to place the script file to be used after Core Offline according to
"3.3.5 Script file to be executed after Core Offline".
