NAME

       iprdump - IBM Power RAID adapter dump utility

SYNOPSIS

       iprdump [-d directory]

       iprdump --version --debug --use-polling --use-uevents

DESCRIPTION

       iprdump	is  used to gather information in the event of an adapter failure.  The dump data will by default be saved in the /var/log/ direc-
       tory with the prefix iprdump.# where # will be the dump ID of the file. The ipr dump utility will make a log in the system error log when a
       dump  is  taken.  The iprdump utility can be started at any time and will properly handle adapters being dynamically added and removed from
       the system.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      Print the version number of iprdump

       --debug
	      Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional errors logging to /var/log/messages.

       -d <directory>
	      Directory where dump data is to be stored.  Default is /var/log/.

       --use-polling
	      Do not use netlink/uevent notification, but rather poll for adapter and device configuration changes.

       --use-uevents
	      Use netlink/uevent notification rather than polling for adapter and device configuration changes. If not specified, polling will	be
	      used until the first uevent notification appears, then netlink will be used.
