摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing errors in a hierarchical hardware sub-system in the data processing system in which the hierarchical hardware sub-system includes a host processor bridge having a mapping registers section and a control and status registers section. In response to detecting an error freezing the mapping registers section in the host bridge, a component within the hierarchical hardware sub-system connected to the host bridge is identified to form a selected component. An address is written to a register within the control and status registers section of the host bridge in which the address is to an error register in the component. Data is read in response to a result from the address written in the register being placed in the control and status registers portion of the host bridge.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for halting input/output error propagation in the logically partitioned data processing system. All components associated with the bridge are identified to form a set of failed components in response to detecting an error state in a bridge within a set of bridges in the logical partitioned data processing system. An identification of the failed components is stored in which the identification is used by each partition during a boot process.

摘要： A system, method, and product in a logically partitioned data processing system are disclosed for preserving trace data after a partition crash. The logically partitioned data processing system includes multiple, different processors. An error is encountered in one of the processors. Data associated with the error is stored in a trace buffer. Contents of the trace buffer are stored prior to the data being overwritten.

摘要： A interrupt is generated for all processors in a multiprocessor system when a critical datapath experiences an error. Serialization code in the interrupt handling routine for that interrupt suspends all processors except one and places the suspended processors in a waiting queue while the one processor handles the error. After the error has been handled, the remaining processors are allow to execute the interrupt handler, which simply exits detecting no error.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing errors in a hierarchical input/output sub-system having an input/output bridge with a plurality of hardware devices in a level below the bridge. A value is read from a selected register to form a read value in response to detecting an error. The selected register is reset. Each bit in the read value associated with the error is cleared to form a cleared value. The cleared value is written into the selected register such that errors occurring since the register was cleared are preserved. The error registers below the bridge are scanned in response to an absence of an error being detected in a bridge within the input/output sub-system. A determination is made as to whether the error has previously occurred in response to a presence of an error is; being found by scanning the registers below the bridge. The error is reported in response to an absence of a determination that the error has previously occurred.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and data processing system for handling errors or other events in a logical partition (LPAR) data processing system is disclosed. When an operating system is initialized in a logical partition, it registers its capabilities for handling particular errors or other events with management software. When an error or other event affecting that logical partition occurs, the management software checks to see if the particular error or event is one that the operating system is capable of handling. If so, the operating system is notified. Otherwise, the management software directs the operating system to take other appropriate action, such as termination of the operating system and/or partition.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and data processing system for locating hardware faults occurring in multiple devices in a data processing system is disclosed. The devices have a scanning order in which the devices (or at least information regarding the devices) are scanned to analyze any possible error condition. When a new error is detected in a device, an identification of the device is stored in a data structure. If another error is detected and causes the devices to be scanned again, the scanning process will skip over the device whose identity is stored in the data structure so that the new error can be located.

摘要： A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for preventing machine crashes due to hard errors in one of multiple, different processors that are included in a logically partitioned data processing system. An error occurring in one of the processors is detected. A determination is then made regarding whether the processor has been deconfigured. The partition is then rebooted only in response to a determination that the processor has been deconfigured and will not be included in the partition processor resources. Thus, only the configured processors are rebooted. The deconfigured processor is not rebooted.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for reporting errors occurring in a data processing system. Responsive to an error occurring in a host bridge in the data processing system, a determination is made as to whether a device required for generating an error report is located below the host bridge. Responsive to the device required for generating an error report being located below a host bridge, the host bridge is isolated from other portions of the data processing system, wherein only a processor analyzing the error is able to access the host bridge. An error reporting process is performed. The error reporting process is able to access the host bridge and the device.
