Displays error conditions detected by the service processor. Refer to “Service Processor Error Logs” on
page 260 for an example of this error log.
v Read System POST Errors
This option should only be used by service personnel to obtain additional debug information.
v Read NVRAM
Displays Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) content.
v Read Service Processor Configuration
Displays current service processor configuration.
v Processor Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu
Enable/Disable CPU Repeat Gard
CPU repeat gard will automatically deconfigure a CPU during a system boot if a processor has
failed BIST (built-in self-test), caused a machine check or check stop, or has reached a
threshold of recoverable errors. The processor will remain deconfigured until repeat gard is
disabled or the processor is replaced.
The default is enabled.
For more information, see “Configuring and Deconfiguring Processors or Memory” on page 256.
Dynamic Processor Sparing
This option is not available on this system.
This menu allows the user to change the system processor configuration. If it is necessary to take one
of the processors offline, use this menu to deconfigure a processor, and then reconfigure the processor
at a later time. An example of this menu follows:
PROCESSOR CONFIGURATION/DECONFIGURATION MENU
77. Enable/Disable CPU Repeat Gard: Currently Enabled
78. Enable/Disable Dynamic Processor Sparing (if available): Currently Disabled
1. 0 3.0 (00) Configured by system 2. 1 3.1 (00) Deconfigured by system

Note: This table is built from vital product data collected during the last boot sequence. The first time
the system is powered on, or after the system’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) has been erased, this
table may be empty. The table is rebuilt during the next boot into AIX.
The fields of the previous table represent the following:
Column 1
(1.) Menu selection index.
Column 2
(0) Logical processor device number assigned by AIX. You can display these logical device
numbers by issuing the following command on the AIX command line:
lsdev -C | grep proc
Column 3
(3.0) Processor address list used by the service processor.
Column 4
(00) Error status of the processors.
The error status of each processor is indicated by AB, where B indicates the number of errors and A
indicates the type of error according to the following:
