Hi, I'm thinking of enabling the watchdog on our Dell PowerEdge 2950 /
FreeBSD 8.0 amd64, so that it reboots the machine in case of lockups.
Right now it doesn't work:
# watchdog
watchdog: patting the dog: Operation not supported
#
Looking through the kernel configuration I found two relevant settings:
In /sys/conf/NOTES:
#
# Add software watchdog routines.
#
options SW_WATCHDOG
and in /sys/amd64/conf/NOTES:
#
# Watchdog routines.
#
options MP_WATCHDOG
Which of them should I rebuild the kernel with? BTW, the existing kernel
is built with the default "options SCHED_ULE" to make good use of
multiple CPUs, does watchdog work with it?
Thanks.
