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 !

is replaced?
