Description : The iprutils package contains user space tools required by the ipr device driver.
iprutils is a set of tools that is used to control some IBM SCSI
controllers[1]. The following tools are part of this package:
iprdump - A user program meant to be run in the background to gather debug
information should an IOA failure occur. Ideally, this program should be
started during boot time after file systems are loaded when the ipr
SCSI driver is used. An init.d script is provided to do this.
iprupdate - IOA/disk unit microcode update utility
This tool requires no arguments and should be run after each time the device driver
is loaded. It will query each adapter/disk unit for the microcode version and update
adapters/disk units that are not currently at the minimum supported levels. An init.d
script is provided to run this at boot time.
iprinit - IOA/disk unit initialization utility
This tool requires no arguments and should be run after each time the device driver
is loaded. It will setup all ipr adapters and attached disks to run with optimal
performance and load any adapter, disk, or scsi bus configurations saved by iprconfig.
It enables U320 scsi speeds and enables tagged command queuing.
iprconfig - IOA Configuration and Recovery tool
This is an ncurses based utility used to configure ipr adapters and devices.
