kdumpBootFiles [string]

This is a preview feature. Its API and behavior is subject to change. You must enable this feature by specifying crash-dump in the previewFeatures API.

Specifies the configuration for how to handle kdump boot files in Live OS formats (iso and pxe).

The kdump boot files include:

  • a crashdump initramfs image named initramfs-<kernel-version>kdump.img.
  • a kernel named vmlinuz-<kernel-version> - where its version matches that of the initramfs-<kernel-version>kdump.img.

By default, the Image Customizer tool removes the /boot folder from the full OS image. This is to avoid file duplication after all the contents have already been copied unto the iso media directly (or to the pxe artifacts). However, if kdump is configured, the kdump kernel and initramfs files must be preserved under the /boot folder.

Supported options:

  • none: kdump files are not preserved in the full OS image under the /boot folder.
  • keep: kdump files are preserved in the full OS image under the /boot folder.

The default value is none.
