OPTIONS¶

--help

--driver

Attempt to determine the name of a valid EDAC driver for the current hardware. This uses a driver database in /etc/edac/driver.db, along with the output of lspci(8).

--mainboard

Print mainboard vendor and model for this hardware, if available. This option requires that the dmidecode(8) utility be installed, and must be run as root.

--load

Load EDAC drivers.

--unload

Unload EDAC drivers.

--status

Print the status of EDAC drivers (loaded or unloaded).

--register-labels

Register motherboard DIMM labels into EDAC driver sysfs files. This option uses the detected mainboard manufacturer and model number in combination with a "labels database" file found in /etc/edac/labels.db. An entry for the current hardware must exist in the labels database for this option to do anything.

--print-labels

Display the configured labels for the current hardware, as well as the current labels registered with EDAC.

--labeldb=DB

Specify an alternate location for the labels database.

--driverdb=DB
