Method and system for eliminating duplicate reported errors in a logically partitioned multiprocessing system

摘要

A method and system for eliminating duplicate reported errors in a logically partitioned multiprocessing system is disclosed. The method and system comprise providing a single source for receiving a plurality of related globally reported errors; and filtering the plurality of related globally reported errors such that only one call for service is provided. Accordingly, through the use of a system and method in accordance with the present invention when a global fault is reported by several OS partitions only one call for service is initiated from the hardware console. In so doing, a service representative will not make repeated calls for the same reported fault. Moreover, in the case that a different service representative is responsible for different partitions only one of the representatives will respond to the fault report.
