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.

NAME

     crashinfo -- analyze a core dump of the operating system

SYNOPSIS

     crashinfo [-d crashdir] [-n dumpnr] [-k kernel] [core]

DESCRIPTION

     The crashinfo utility analyzes a core dump saved by savecore(8).  It generates a text file containing the analysis in the same directory as
     the core dump.  For a given core dump file named vmcore.XX the generated text file will be named core.txt.XX.

     By default, crashinfo analyzes the most recent core dump in the core dump directory.  A specific core dump may be specified via either the
     core or dumpnr arguments.	Once crashinfo has located a core dump, it analyzes the core dump to determine the exact version of the kernel
     that generated the core.  It then looks for a matching kernel file under each of the subdirectories in /boot.  The location of the kernel
     file can also be explicitly provided via the kernel argument.

     Once crashinfo has located a core dump and kernel, it uses several utilities to analyze the core including dmesg(8), fstat(1), iostat(8),
     ipcs(1), kgdb(1), netstat(1), nfsstat(1), ps(1), pstat(8), and vmstat(8).

     The options are as follows:

     -d crashdir
	     Specify an alternate core dump directory.	The default crash dump directory is /var/crash.

     -n dumpnr
	     Use the core dump saved in vmcore.dumpnr instead of the latest core in the core dump directory.

     -k kernel
	     Specify an explicit kernel file.

HISTORY

     The crashinfo utility appeared in FreeBSD 6.4.
