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/ directory 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.
