Setting deconfiguration policies

Set various processor and memory configuration and deconfiguration policies.

You can set various policies to deconfigure processors and memory in certain situations. You can enable policies that will deconfigure the processor when failures occur, such as a predictive failure (for example, correctable errors generated by a processor exceeding the threshold), floating point failure, functional failure, or system bus failure. You can also enable the firmware to power off a processing unit (node) for concurrent maintenance when any of the resources in that node are deconfigured.

To set the deconfiguration policies, your authority level must be one of the following (any user can view the deconfiguration policies):
  • Administrator
  • Authorized service provider

To set deconfiguration policies, complete the following steps:

  1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
  2. In the navigation area, expand System Configuration and Hardware Deconfiguration.
  3. Select Deconfiguration Policies.
  4. In the right pane, select Enabled or Disabled for each policy.
  5. Click Save settings.
