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 (power-on 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 64.
Runtime Recoverable Error Repeat Gard
The runtime recoverable error repeat gard flag controls the deallocation of
the memory if a recoverable error occurs during runtime. If a recoverable
memory error occurs, and runtime recoverable error repeat gard is disabled,
the system will continue running with no change in the memory
configuration. If a recoverable memory error occurs, and runtime
recoverable error repeat gard is enabled, the memory quad in which the
error occurred will be garded out (taken offline).
The default is disabled.
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:
