DESCRIPTIONiprdump is used to gather information in the event of an adapter fail‐
ure. The dump data will by default be saved in the /var/log/ directory
with the prefix iprdump.# where # will be the dump ID of the file. The
ipr dump utility will make a log in the system error log when a dump is
taken. The iprdump utility can be started at any time and will prop‐
erly handle adapters being dynamically added and removed from the sys‐
tem.
