NAME

       ipmctl-dump-session - Dumps content captured during a recording session.

SYNOPSIS

           ipmctl dump [OPTIONS] -destination (path) -session

DESCRIPTION

       Dumps content captured during a recording session. Captured content includes ACPI, SMBIOS
       tables, and FIS requests and responses. The resulting session file that is generated can
       be used to playback commands recorded on a real platform in a simulated environment,
       making it possible to debug issues offline.

OPTIONS

       -h, -help
           Displays help for the command.

       -ddrt
           Used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of
           ipmctl.

       -smbus
           Used to specify SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of
           ipmctl.

           Note
           The -ddrt and -smbus options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together.

TARGET

       -destination (path)
           An absolute or relative path including the filename, where the contents of the active
           session will be copied to.

       -session
           Specifies to dump the contents associated with an active recording session.

EXAMPLES

       Dump the contents associated with the current active recording session to
       /tmp/session.pbr.

           ipmctl dump -destination /tmp/session.pbr -session

LIMITATIONS

       To successfully execute this command, there must be an active recording session.

RETURN DATA

       The resulting file includes, NFIT, PCAT, PMTT and SMBIOS tables that are used by IPMCTL to
       determine the PMem module topology. PMem module data that is transferred to/from PMem
       modules over the mailbox interface.

SAMPLE OUTPUT

           Successfully dumped 1060619 bytes to file.
