cpu.e2917c CPU <CPU number> exceeds the maximum <maximum CPU number> and is excluded from the dump

Explanation

The Linux kernel is used as a system dumper but it runs on more CPUs than it has been compiled for with the CONFIG_NR_CPUS kernel configuration option. The system dump will be created but information on one or more CPUs will be missing.

User response

Update the system dump kernel to a newer version that supports more CPUs or reduce the number of installed CPUs and reproduce the problem that should be analyzed. If you send the system dump that prompted this message to a support organization, be sure to communicate that the dump does not include all CPU information.
