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.

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.
