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 sup‐
       ported 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 sup‐
	      ported 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.
