=item B<dump_iscsi_port>
The tcpip port number to use to communicate dump images from the client to the dump resource server. Normally set by default. This port number is used by a dump resource server.
=item B<configdump>
Specifies the type dump to be collected at the client. The values are "selective", "full", and "none". If the configdump attribute is set to "full" or "selective" the client will automatically be setup to dump to an iSCSI Target device. The "selective" memory dump will avoid dumping user data. The "full" memory dump will dump all the memory of the client partition. Selective and full memory dumps will be collected in the dump resource allocated to the client. Only POWER6 clients an dump to the dump resource.

=item B<attr=val [attr=val ...]>
Specifies one or more "attribute equals value" pairs, separated by spaces. Attr=val pairs must be specified last on the command line. These are used to specify additional or different information to use when creating the the xCAT osimage definition. Note that you may specify multiple "script", "otherpkgs", and "installp_bundle" resources by using a comma seperated list. (ex. "script=ascript,bscript"). RPM names may be included in the "otherpkgs" list by using a "R:" prefix(ex. "R:whatever.rpm"). Valid attribute names include any of the attributes of the xCAT osimage object plus "installp_flags". (The default for installp_flags is "-agQX".)
