    摘要: A method of managing errors in a data processing system may involve at least one computer system. Each computer system may include a processor that executes an operating system, firmware, and system memory storing instructions for the operating system. A firmware error handler resident in the firmware may identify an error occurring in the computer system. The firmware error handler may determine whether the operating system is required to take an action in response to the error. If the operating system is not required to take an action in response to the error, the firmware error handler may create an error log accessible to the operating system appropriate to cause the operating system to take no action.

    摘要: The present invention flexibly manages the formation of a partition from a plurality of independently executing cells (discrete hardware entities comprising system resources) in preparation for the instantiation of an operating system instance upon the partition. Specifically, the invention manages configuration activities that occur to transition from having individual cells acting independently, and having cells rendezvous, to having cells become interdependent to continue operations as a partition. The invention manages the partitioning forming process such that no single point of failure disrupts the process. Instead, the invention is implemented as a distributed application wherein individual cells independently execute instructions based upon respective copies of the complex profile (a “map” of the complex configuration). Also, the invention adapts to a degree of delay associated with certain cells becoming ready to join the formation or rendezvous process. The invention is able to cope with missing, unavailable, or otherwise malfunctioning cells. Additionally, the invention analyzes present cells to determine their compatibility and reject cells that are not compatible.

    摘要: A system and method for recording fault information in an electronic system are disclosed herein. A system includes fault analysis logic and a plurality of field replaceable units (“FRUs”). The fault analysis is configured to analyze system error information, and identify at least one of the FRUs in the system to be a possible cause of a detected fault based on the analysis. Each FRU includes writeable non-volatile storage including storage locations reserved to store information including a result of the analysis. The result of the analysis indicates a reason that the FRU storing the information was determined, by the fault analysis logic, to be a possible cause of the fault.

    摘要: A system for error log consolidation is disclosed herein. A server computer includes a plurality of system processors and error log consolidation logic. The system processors are configurable to form isolated execution partitions. The error log consolidation logic is configured to, based on detection of a fault in the server, retrieve error logs from the system processors, and to consolidate the retrieved logs with server computer information not available to the system processors to generate a consolidated error log. The consolidated error log includes a comprehensive set of server information relevant to identifying a cause of the detected fault.

    摘要: A system and method for fault management in a computer-based system are disclosed herein. A system includes a plurality of field replaceable units (“FRUs”) and fault management logic. The fault management logic is configured to collect error information from a plurality of components of the system. The logic stores, for each component identified as a possible cause of a detected fault, a record assigning one of two different component failure probability indications. The logic identifies a single of the plurality of FRUs that has failed based on the stored probability indications.
