Kim, On a system running SRM, by default all processor sets belong to pset_default where pool_default is associated with. When user-defined pools and psets are created and containers are associated to these, its wise to make sure that pset_default contains CPUs that belong to pyhsically separated boards. That is easily achieved with poolcfg. Theoratically, this should keep the system running if a CPU goes offline, unless the Kernel panics for whatever reason due to a kernel function running at the time of crash, then the result is a total system shutdown which may come up on the rest of CPUs on the other loosely-coupled boards after the reboot. In this case, the system won't stay down until the h/w is replaced, but would run on the rest of CPUs on the other boards after the reboot. This is all theoretical and needs to be proven !

Does the system stay down until the h/w (e.g a CPU board) is replaced?Best regards, Kimberly _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org --
