$ man dracut

crypto LUKS
        rd_NO_LUKS
           disable crypto LUKS detection

        rd_LUKS_UUID=<luks uuid>
           only activate the LUKS partitions with the given UUID Any
           "luks-" of the LUKS UUID is removed before comparing to
           <luks uuid>.  The comparisons also matches, if <luks uuid> is
           only the beginning of the LUKS UUID, so you don’t have to
           specify the full UUID.
