This is force trigger of coredump. Other cases are: 

* If machine crashes and we have kdump configured we will get vmcore captured. You can search 
how to capture vmcore. 

* Other option is if you have KVM VM running with libvirt, below command will also give you vmcore 

# virsh dump VM_NAME > vmcore.dump 

Then you can run crash tool based on version of kernel and debug kernel. 

Hope it helps. 

Thanks, 
Pankaj
