6 iprdump - IBM Power RAID adapter dump utility
7
9 iprdump [-d directory]
10 iprdump --version --debug --use-polling --use-uevents
12
14 iprdump is used to gather information in the event of an adapter fail‐
15 ure. The dump data will by default be saved in the /var/log/ directory
16 with the prefix iprdump.# where # will be the dump ID of the file. The
17 ipr dump utility will make a log in the system error log when a dump is
18 taken. Iprdump should be started as a service daemon instead of run
19 directly. Nevertheless, it can also be started at any time and will
20 properly handle adapters being dynamically added and removed from the
21 system. When it is run directly it will stay running forever in order
22 to process any dump that might occur. You can start it with "iprdump
23 --daemon" to force it into the background.
24
26 --version
27 Print the version number of iprdump
28 --debug
30 Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in
31 additional errors logging to /var/log/messages.
32 -d <directory>
34 Directory where dump data is to be stored. Default is
35 /var/log/.
36 --use-polling
38 Do not use netlink/uevent notification, but rather poll for
39 adapter and device configuration changes.
40 --use-uevents
42 Use netlink/uevent notification rather than polling for adapter
43 and device configuration changes. If not specified, polling will
44 be used until the first uevent notification appears, then
45 netlink will be used.
46 --daemon
48 Force the daemon to be run in the background
