IPRINIT(8)                                     System Manager's Manual                                     IPRINIT(8)



NAME
       iprinit - IBM Power RAID adapter/device initialization utility

SYNOPSIS
       iprinit

       iprinit --debug --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents

DESCRIPTION
       iprinit is used to setup IBM Power RAID adapters and devices for optimal performance. It will enable U320 scsi
       speeds if it is determined the disk enclosure supports it. It will also enable tagged  command  queuing.   Any
       scsi  bus  attributes,  such  as  bus  width, or disk attributes, such as queue depth, that have been setup by
       iprconfig will be loaded as well.  It is desired that this be called in the boot  process,  using  the  init.d
       script provided.

OPTIONS
       --version
              Print the version number of iprinit

       --debug
              Enable   additional  error  logging.  Enabling  this  will  result  in  additional  errors  logging  to
              /var/log/messages.

       --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.
