Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a method for processing a log restoration measure in a logically partitioned(LPAR) multiprocessing system. SOLUTION: A system and a method relating to this invention solve a problem that same actions need to be executed in plural sections by adopting a notification method using a focal point of single control. When the focal point determines that an executed action is common to other sections, the action is broadcast to other sections by the focal point to eliminate necessity of visiting every sections and repeating the action. Every receiver side section renews log restoration measure record thereof by using broadcast information. Consequently, a shortened restoration scenario of an active operation section and less interruptions are given to provide a user with increased possibility of the system to provide higher satisfaction.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for eliminating reported duplication by reducing time needed to report global errors. SOLUTION: These method and system for eliminating duplicate reported errors in a logically partitioned multiprocessing system are disclosed. The method and system comprise a step for providing a single source for receiving a plurality of related globally reported errors and a step for 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 a hardware console. In doing so, 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.
