/sbin/dasdconf.sh will parse the /etc/dasd.conf configuration to bring
up the device or not during the kernel booting.

Thanks. I will change it.

That is a good way to collect the useful device.
This is not preferred. This needs to be done only if we can't figure out
which dasd device falls in dump path.
But I think we should make more similiar in the kdump environment to the
1st kernel.
Not in terms of bringing up all devices.
Also administator can be offline all of useless devices(for kdump environment) to
start the kdump service.
Other devices might be being used for other purposes in first kernel.
Kdump destination is only one of them. So admin will not offline rest
of the devices.
Thanks
