.SH SYNOPSIS

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B 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.
