STM and Virtual Partitions (VPAR)
a.
Pending: page could not be entered into PDT
This page status is used to indicate to the
user that the following page could not be entered into the page deallocation table (PDT),
either because the PDT is full, or because an error was encountered when memlogd tried to
enter this page into the PDT.
b. Pending: page may still be active This page status, logged by the memlogd in the
memlog file, only applies to pages not belonging to the virtual partition in which the memlogd
is running, to indicate to the user that the page has been entered into the PDT, but that
memlogd cannot determine whether or not the OS has deallocated the page.
Memory Expert Tool: Changes in Behavior with Virtual Paritions
If running on a virtual partitions system and user selects to run the memory expert tool-> memory
test, there are additional error messages that can be logged to the memory expert activity log file
when the memory test failed (only on a virtual partitions system):
1. An attempt to obtain exclusive access to a memory controller
via the vpmonitor driver failed. This error is unexpected. The memory
expert tool can not continue with the memory test.
Possible Cause(s)/Recommended Action(s):
Internal application error.
2. The memory subsystem is not recognized by this tool to support
virtual partitions. The memory expert tool can not continue with the
memory test.
Possible Cause(s)/Recommended Action(s):
Internal application error.
3. An attempt to read syndrome error information
was not successful. The memory expert tool
can not continue with the memory test.
Possible Cause(s)/Recommended Action(s):
A process (possibly memlogd) in another virtual
partition has took the virtual partition lock
away from the memory expert tool. Rerun the tool later.
4. An attempt to release the virtual partition
lock failed. This error is unexpected. The memory
expert tool can not continue with the memory test.
Possible Cause(s)/Recommended Action(s):
Internal application error.
The online Support Tools Manager (STM) was enhanced and updated
for the current release.
