Alexey,
How to use: $ crash /path/to/debug_file.guest vmlinux
Companion debug_file.vmem must be present in the same folder as
Please add this kind of explanation in man 8 crash, because
debug_file.guest. Otherwise crash will shot a message:
vmw: Open the companion vmem file: /path/to/debug_file.vmem
crash: vmw: /path/to/debug_file.vmem: No such file or directory
I don't know such usage of vmcore-related files from this message.

Subject: [PATCH v3] vmware_guestdump: new input format
vmware_guestdump is extension to vmware_vmss with ability to debug
debug.guest and debug.vmem files.
debug.guest.gz and debug.vmem.gz can be obtained using following
.vmx options from VM running in debug mode:
monitor.mini-suspend_on_panic = TRUE
monitor.suspend_on_triplefault = TRUE
guestdump (debug.guest) is simplified version of *.vmss which does
not contain full VM state, but minimal guest state, such as memory
layout and CPUs state, needed for debugger. is_vmware_guestdump()
and vmware_guestdump_init() functions parse guestdump header and
populate vmss data structure (from vmware_vmss.c). As result, all
handlers (except mempry_dump) from vmware_vmss.c can be reused.
How to use: $ crash /path/to/debug_file.guest vmlinux
Companion debug_file.vmem must be present in the same folder as
debug_file.guest. Otherwise crash will shot a message:
vmw: Open the companion vmem file: /path/to/debug_file.vmem
crash: vmw: /path/to/debug_file.vmem: No such file or directory
