IPRDUMPFMT(8)

💖 IPRDUMPFMT 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the iprdumpfmt page from the System Manager's Manual and it is lowkey iconic ✨

✨ NAME ✨

iprdumpfmt — the IBM Power RAID dump formatting utility 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

iprdumpfmt [options] dump_file

iprdumpfmt -o <report_file> --verbose dump_file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the way this works is: iprdumpfmt is your lil cleanup crew for iprdump.XX files 🧹 It strips the driver information out of them — and that means the driver type, the driver version, and the driver trace, all ordered by jiffies. periodt.

There's a verbose option too, and if you turn that on it also prints timestamps and the SCSI command for each driver trace entry. no cap, every single entry gets its little glow-up 💖

All that info gets stored in a file, and you can specify that file if you want. If you don't specify an output file, it just prints the information to a new iprdump.XX.report file. easy peasy 🍓

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --verbose — prints the detailed driver trace information, like, the full tea. timestamps and SCSI commands included 👑
• --output file — lets you pick a different output file to store the formatted information in. If you don't choose one, a new file gets created for you by appending .report to the input dump file. so iprdump.XX becomes iprdump.XX.report, cute right? 💅
