The TYP line in the printout indicates the type of module at each node:
A = I/O adapter
P = scalar processor
V = vector processor
M = memory module
The STF line shows the results of self-test. This information is taken
from the self-test fail bit in the XBER register of each module. The
entries are:
+ (pass)
– (fail)
o (does not apply)
The BPD line indicates boot processor designation.
The results on the BPD line indicate:
B = Boot processor
E = Processors eligible to become boot processor
D = Processors ineligible to become boot processor
This BPD line is printed twice. After the first determination of the
boot processor, the processors go through an extended test. Since
it is possible for a processor to pass self-test (at line STF) and fail
the extended test (at ETF), the processors again determine the boot
processor following the extended test.
During the extended test (ETF) all processors run additional CPU tests
involving memory. Results printed at this ETF line indicate:
• Two processors passed the extended test (+)
• Two processors failed the extended test (–)
This ILV line contains a memory interleave value (ILV) for each
memory. If you have more than one interleave set, each set is indicated
by a different letter.
The line after the ILV line displays the size of each memory module
configured in the system and gives the total Mbytes of system memory.
In Example 2–1 the total is 256 Mbytes.
Console and RBD information indicates the version of read-only
memory that is installed on the processors in this system. Each
processor has a console ROM and an RBD ROM; each ROM has its
own version. In Example 2–1 all processors have version V1.00 ROM
resident. All processors should run with the same level of ROM. If your
processors have mixed levels of ROM, the ROM level of the primary
