Subject: [PATCH] man: add manpage for the drmgr utility

References: bsc#1180854 ltc#170517
Patch-mainline: v1.3.8
Git-commit: bd8dd36b33cda0d0a72111a9a53fc5fb9a73cdb4

Historically we have discouraged users from invoking drmgr from the commandline
outside of PCI hotplug, and as such provided no documentation. However, for the
sake of those brave powerusers willing to risk putting their system in a state
inconsistent from that of theassociated managment interface lets add a manpage
with the basic documentation of the various usage options for each of the
dynamic reconfiguration connector types.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B drmgr
+is a utility for managing logical and physical hot plug capable resources of a PowerVM LPAR or QEMU/KVM pSeries virtual machine via Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR) operations. Outside of hot plugging a physical PCI I/O slot the 
+.B drmgr
+utility is intended to be invoked remotely by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), or by a local monitoring deamon in response to a hotplug interrupt from the controlling hypervisor.
+
+.PP
+Unless directed by IBM support or performing a PCI hotplug operation use caution invoking \fBdrmgr\fR from the commandline as it can result in inconsistent state between the LPAR and managament system.
+
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-d " detail_level"
+Set logging verbosity level.
+
+.TP
+.BI \-w " timeout"
+Specify a timeout in minutes to wait on acquiring dynamic resource lock.
+
+.TP
+.B \-C, \-\-capabilities
+Display DLPAR capabilities of the logical partition.
+
+.TP
+.BI \-c " drc_type"
+Dynamic reconfiguration connector type to act upon from the following list:
+.BR pci ", " cpu ", " mem ", " port ", " slot ", " phb "."
+
+.SS "drmgr -c pci -s \fIslot_location_code\fR {\fB\-i\fR | \fB\-a\fR | \fB\-r\fR | \fB\-R\fR} [\fB\-I\fR]" 
+Add, remove, identify, or replace a physical PCI adapter.
+
+.TP
+.BI \-s " slot_location_code"
+The physical slot location code to act upon.
+
+.TP
+.B \-i
+Identify the specified \fIslot_location_code\fR by turning on its visual indicator LED.
+
+.TP
+.B \-R
+Interactively replace the physical PCI adapter, with \fIslot_location_code\fR, by turning on the visual indicator LED to locate the physical slot, then powering down the slot so that the current card can be removed, and finally powering the slot back up after the new adapter has been inserted into the slot.
+
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Interactively remove a physical PCI adapter, from \fIslot_location_code\fR, by turning on the visual indicator LED to locate the physical slot, and then powering down the slot so that the current card can be removed.
+
+.TP
+.B \-a
+Interactively add a physical PCI adpater, to \fIslot_location_code\fR, by turning on the visual indicator LED to locate the physical slot, and then powering up the slot once the new adapter has been inserted into the slot.
+
+.TP
+.B \-I
+Do not perform the identify step during interactive add, remove, or replacement operations.
+
+
+.SS "drmgr -c cpu \fR{\fB-s \fR{\fIdrc_index\fR | \fIdrc_name\fR} | \fB-q \fIcount\fR} {\fB-a\fR | \fB-r\fR}"

+
+.TP
+.BI \-s " drc_index " | " drc_name"

+
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Perform a DLPAR CPU(s) remove operation.
+
+

+
+.TP
+.BI \-q " quantity"
+Specify a quantity of LMBs on which to perfrom the requested DLPAR operation.
+
+.TP
+.B \-a
+Perform a DLPAR LMB(s) add operation.
+
+.TP
+.B \-r

+Add or remove a logical IOA resource such as virtualized storage and network adapters, or a logical PCI Host Bus that physical PCI devices reside under including hotpluggable slots.
+
+.TP
+.BI \-s " drc_index " | " drc_name"
+The dynamic reconfiguration connector (DRC) index or name is used to identify the logical resource on which to perform the associated DLPAR operation.
+
