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 fail-
       ure.  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 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.
       --daemon
              Force the daemon to be run in the background
