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 table:
1. Bring-up failure
2. Run-time non-recoverable failure
3. Run-time recoverable failure
A
status of 00 indicates that the CPU has not had any errors logged against it by the service processor.
To enable or disable CPU Repeat Gard, use menu option 77. CPU Repeat Gard is enabled by default.
If CPU Repeat Gard is disabled, processors that are in the deconfigured by system state will be
reconfigured. These reconfigured processors are then tested during the boot process, and if they pass,
they remain online. If they fail the boot testing, they are deconfigured, even though CPU Repeat Gard is
disabled.
The failure history of each CPU is retained. If a processor with a history of failures is brought back
online by disabling Repeat Gard, it remains online if it passes testing during the boot process. However,
if Repeat Gard is enabled, the processor is taken offline again because of its history of failures.
Note: The processor numbering scheme used by the service processor is different from the numbering
scheme used by AIX. Consult the AIX documentation before configuring or deconfiguring a
processor to ensure that the correct processor is selected.
The AIX Documentation library is available at the following Web address: http://www-
1.ibm.com/servers/aix/library/.
Select Technical Publications. AIX documentation is also
contained on the AIX Documentation CD. The documentation is made accessible by loading the
documentation CD onto the hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
v Memory Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu
These menus allow the user to change the system memory configuration. If it is necessary to take one
of the memory DIMMs offline, this menu allows you to deconfigure a DIMM, and then reconfigure the
DIMM at a later time.
When this option is selected, a menu displays, showing the memory riser cards in the system. Type the
number of the memory riser card on which the DIMM is plugged that you want to configure or
deconfigure. An example of this menu is shown below:
MEMORY CONFIGURATION/DECONFIGURATION MENU
77. Enable/Disable Memory Repeat Gard: Currently Enabled
1. Memory riser card 1
2. Memory riser card 2
98. Return to Previous Menu
After you select a memory riser card, a menu allowing the selection of a memory DIMM is displayed.
The following is an example of this menu.
