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.	The  iprdump utility can be started at any time and will prop‐
       erly handle adapters being dynamically added and removed from the  sys‐
       tem.

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.
