How to Disable and Enable Processors
In the SMP servers, it is possible to disable/enable processors. A suspected faulty processor
can be disabled so that the system can run without it. The processors can be
disabled/enabled through the STAND-BY MENU, MAINTENANCE MENU, Diagnostics, or
through AIX commands.
Enabling/Disabling Processors through the Stand-By Menu
1. Enter the STAND-BY MENU; refer to the STAND-BY MENU section on page 2-12.
2. From the STAND-BY MENU, enter

to select the Set Configuration menu. A first-level
screen similar to the following appears:
Set Configuration

The Set Configuration screen displays the units and devices that can be configured,
along with their menu index number. At this step,

the device is automatically reconfigured.
