RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.22.0-0.11.el9
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.`kdump` RHEL System Role updates The `kdump` RHEL System Role has been updated to a newer version, which brings the following notable enhancements: * After installing `kexec-tools`, the utility suite no longer generates the `/etc/sysconfig/kdump` file because you do not need to manage this file anymore. * The role supports the `auto_reset_crashkernel` and `dracut_args` variables. For more details, see resources in the `/usr/share/doc/rhel-system-roles/kdump/` directory.

Description Rich Megginson 2023-05-30 16:19:43 UTC 
Support auto_reset_crashkernel on RHEL9 and later.  Use grubby to update crashkernel on older releases.  /etc/sysconfig/kdump is not used anymore, only /etc/kdump.conf is used to configure kdump.
