9919.0. "Simulating a failed CPU?" by ALFAM7::STREPPEL () Thu May 22 1997 13:20

    Digital UNIX has the nice feature that in case of a failure of a CPU on
    an SMP based AlphaServer the operating system masks the failed CPU out
    so that during the following reboot it is automatically excluded. Has
    anyone seen this happen?
    
    Is there a way to force the kernel to simulate a failed CPU? In order to 
    test such a feature there should be something available. The same with 
    controllers etc.
    
    A customer would like to see this demoed.
    
    	Regards
