We had a situation the other day where one of our z10's was taking "thermals" for lack of a better word. The kernel dutifully reported:
Feb 11 15:08:29 zsles10sp3ctl kernel: sclp_config: cpu capability changed. sclp_config: cpu capability changed. The CE replaced the MRU on the box and all is well. But this led us too look a little bit closer. On the lpar in question (an IFL lpar on a 502): Ready; T=0.01/0.01 14:02:56 q cap 14:03:08 CAPABILITY: PRIMARY 1760 SECONDARY 904 And zsles10sp3ctl:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 # cat capability 1760 It looks like the kernel uses the wrong value. IBM says that the "secondary" number is the IFL capability (lower is faster). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
