|
iprupdate - IBM Power RAID adapter/device microcode update utility
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B iprupdate
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "iprupdate --debug --check_only --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B iprupdate
|
|
is used to update the microcode on IBM storage adapters and the disk units
|
|
attached to them to a minimum supported level. It can be run at any time
|
|
while the ipr device driver is loaded. The utility will check the
|
|
microcode revision level of each storage adapter/disk unit on the system and
|
|
compare it to the microcode revision level that is installed in /etc/microcode,
|
|
/usr/lib/microcode, and /lib/firmware.
|
|
If the microcode level on the adapter/device is below the minimum supported
|
|
level and the level of the latest image is newer, the microcode will be updated
|
|
to the latest level available. It is desired that this be called in the boot
|
|
process.
