Hi All, When I am having maxcpus present in my xml while bringing up the guest : "ppc_spapr.ram","size":17179869184} -overcommit mem-lock=off -smp 8,maxcpus=64,sockets=64,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid f2b823d1-b92d-4467-9865-f640875bf9ee -no-user-config -nodefaults If I trigger fadump on the guest it throws continuous OOPS and the following error message on the guest console [ 0.045806] [ T1] rtas fadump: Dump taken by platform is incomplete (0) I am seeing traces along with rtas incomplete failure and guest is crashing with OOPS. Pasting some traces and will put whole console log in the console.log attached file. Starting Flush Journal to Persistent Storage...
