reserves memory for the crash kernel.
Parameters

| target | string | hiera('kdump_client::target') |
crashkernel
Configures the kernel parameter crashkernel, which
specifies the amount of memory to be reserved for the crash kernel. This
can be auto or xxxM. Further information is
provided by Red
Hat.
target
The target for kernel dumps as documented in
kdump.conf(5). Currently SSH targets do not work, as there
is no way to specify an SSH key.
Examples
Transfer kernel dumps to a remote server using NFS:
class {'kdump':
target => 'nfs some-server.psi.ch/crashes/',
}
