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.
