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



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.  Iprdump should be started  as  a  service  daemon  instead  of  run
       directly.  Nevertheless,  it  can  also  be  started  at any time and will properly handle
       adapters being dynamically added and removed from the system. When it is run  directly  it
       will  stay running forever in order to process any dump that might occur. You can start it
       with "iprdump --daemon" to force it into the background.

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 con-
              figuration changes.

       --use-uevents
              Use netlink/uevent notification rather than polling for adapter and device configu-
              ration changes. If not specified, polling will be used until the first uevent noti-
              fication appears, then netlink will be used.

       --daemon
              Force the daemon to be run in the background
