NAME¶
iprupdate - IBM Power RAID adapter/device microcode update utility
SYNOPSIS¶
iprupdate
iprupdate --debug --check_only --daemon --use-polling
--use-uevents
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
OPTIONS¶
- --version
- Print the version number of iprupdate
- --debug
- Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional
errors logging to /var/log/messages.
- --check_only
- Check if any adapters or disk units are below their minimum supported
level.
- --daemon
- Run as a daemon to handle adapters and devices being hotplugged.
- --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.
