Examples: The reason processor cores were unconfigured

The examples shows the reason for processor deconfiguration.

Example 1: The field core override function is enabled and there are no processor errors in standby mode

The following table shows the example field core override value during the standby mode.
Table 1. Field core override value
Field Value
Current field core override setting 5
Requested FCO setting 5
Note: The FCO value must be in the range 1 - 8.

The empty processor deconfiguration records in the System Service Aids > Deconfiguration Records window display the processors that are unconfigured only by the field core override function.

The following table shows an example of processor cores that are configured by the field core override function. The processors do not have hardware errors.
Table 2. Processor deconfiguration
Processing units: 0
Processor ID Location code State Error type Change settings
0 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
1 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
2 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
3 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
4 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
5 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 FCO-deconfigured None (0) Not Applicable
6 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 FCO-deconfigured None (0) Not Applicable
7 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 FCO-deconfigured None (0) Not Applicable

Example 2: The field core override function is enabled and there are no processor errors at run time

The following table shows an example where resources are guarded because of processor errors. Note the system reference codes (SRCs).
Table 3. Deconfiguration records
Total Unconfigured Units: 3
Unit Unit type Error type SRC
0 Fabric Predictive (E6) B114E504
1 L2 Controller Predictive (E6) B112E504
2 Processor PSI Predictive (E6) B15CE504
The following table indicates that the processor cores are unconfigured because of the hardware errors at run time after the field core override function is activated at initial program load (IPL).
Table 4. Processor deconfiguration
Processing Units: 0
Processor ID Location code State Error type Change settings
0 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 System-deconfigured None (EF) Deconfigured
1 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 System-deconfigured None (EF) Deconfigured
2 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 System-deconfigured None (EF) Deconfigured
3 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
4 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 Configured None (0) Configured
5 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 FCO-deconfigured None (0) Not Applicable
6 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 FCO-deconfigured None (0) Not Applicable
7 U78AA.001.WZSG334-P1-C11 FCO-deconfigured None (0) Not Applicable
Notes:
  • Processor IDs, 0, 1, and 2 show system-deconfigured because of the fault on the processor cores.
  • Error type, None (EF) indicates a fault on the core.
