IPRINIT(8) System Manager's Manual IPRINIT(8)NAME
iprinit - IBM Power RAID adapter/device initialization utility
SYNOPSIS
iprinit
iprinit --debug --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents
DESCRIPTION
iprinit is used to setup IBM Power RAID adapters and devices for optimal performance. It will enable U320 scsi speeds if it is determined
the disk enclosure supports it. It will also enable tagged command queuing. Any scsi bus attributes, such as bus width, or disk
attributes, such as queue depth, that have been setup by iprconfig will be loaded as well. It is desired that this be called in the boot
process, using the init.d script provided.
OPTIONS --version
Print the version number of iprinit
--debug
Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional errors logging to /var/log/messages.
--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.

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.

Hi all,
I have a directory where some process is keeping incremental/new log files. I need to code a program which will periodically poll this directory and if it founds a new file arrived then copy that new file to some other specific directory.
We are OK with this polling approach. I just... (3 Replies)
Hi all,
I have a System i server with a couple of AIX LPARs.
One of the LPARs owns a dual-channel scsi adapter to which I connect a tape library (IBM TS3100) and a DVD Drive.
I had some problems to get the Tape Library detected but finally I got it:

Hi all
Ive got a v440 with an external T3 RAID in a dual bus configuration. I need to add an additional JBOD extension to the disk array via two VDCH cables.
Now, can I do this as the server is live ? Can I just plug the two cables in, switch on the additional extension ? Will this cause... (1 Reply)
To summarize the problem: The "IBM FastT Storage Manager Client v8" shows that our Disk Farm is arranged into 6 logical drives each in a RAID 5 configuration. This software also shows that 5 of the 6 logical drives (from Disk Farm) are in a error state: "Failed Logical Drive - Drive Failure".... (1 Reply)
