An apparatus (106, Fig. 1) and method for fault resilient booting of a multiprocessor system. The apparatus attempts a cold reset of the system, during which each processor performs a built-in self test. The apparatus nominates a boot strap processor to perform a warm reset, during which any failed processors are tri-stated using a flush command. If no boot strap processor is available, the apparatus performs the warm reset and tri-states any failed processors, including the processor predesignated to be the boot strap processor, and then repeats the attempt to establish the boot strap processor. |
