IPRUPDATE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      IPRUPDATE(8)

NAME

       iprupdate - IBM Power RAID adapter/device microcode update utility

SYNOPSIS

       iprupdate

       iprupdate --debug --check_only --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents

DESCRIPTION

       iprupdate  is used to update the microcode on IBM storage adapters and the disk units attached to them to a minimum supported level. It can
       be run at any time while the ipr device driver is loaded. The utility will check the microcode revision level of each storage  adapter/disk
       unit  on  the  system  and  compare  it	to  the  microcode  revision  level  that  is installed in /etc/microcode, /usr/lib/microcode, and
       /lib/firmware.  If the microcode level on the adapter/device is below the minimum supported level and the level	of  the  latest  image	is
       newer, the microcode will be updated to the latest level available. It is desired that this be called in the boot process.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      Print the version number of iprupdate

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

       --check_only
	      Check if any adapters or disk units are below their minimum supported level.

       --daemon
	      Run as a daemon to handle adapters and devices being hotplugged.

       --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.
