LSREIPL(8)

💖 LSREIPL(8) — the System Manager's Manual page, bestie 💖

Okay so this is lsreipl, manual section 8, and it is literally here to spill the tea on your re-IPL setup for Linux on System z. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

lsreipl — list the re-IPL configuration for Linux on System z 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lsreipl [OPTION]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lsreipl lists the re-IPL (and IPL) configuration for Linux on System z. 💅

Using this tool you can see from which device your system will boot after you issue the reboot command. Furthermore you can query the system for information about the current boot device. Iconic little system-info moment, honestly.

IPL (initial program load) is the mainframe synonym for what is called “boot” in Linux. So yeah, re-IPL can be translated to “reboot” in the non-mainframe context. Mainframe-to-Linux translation station, fully slaying 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -i, --ipl — print the IPL instead of the re-IPL configuration. This lists the configuration of the device from which your present Linux installation was booted. Bestie, this is the “where did I actually boot from?” button ✨
• -h, --help — print help information, then exit. Your cute little “what is this again?” rescue button 🫶
• -v, --version — print version information, then exit. For when you need the version receipt 🧾
