An HP Integrity BL870ci2 Blade Server running HP-UX 11u v3 incurs more cache errors from a
processor than the threshould allows. Which statement is correct concerning the deallocation of
that processor by Dynamic Processor Resilience Technology?
A.
it will be deactivated immediately and flagged using the serial number to be deallocated at the
next reboot
B.
it will be deactivated immediately, using Automatic Process Recovery (ARP) to kill all processes
on that processor
C.
it will be deactivated only if there is an iCAP processor available to replace the failed one
D.
it will be deactivated after all processes complete however bo new processes will be allowed on
that processor beginning immediately

Dynamic Processor Resiliency
The flagship processor RAS feature for Integrity servers is HP’s Dynamic Processor Resiliency
(DPR). DPR is a set of error monitors that will flag a processor as degraded when it has
experienced a certain number of correctable errors over a specific time period. These thresholds
help identify processor modules which are likely to cause uncorrectable errors in the future that
can panic the OS and bring the system or partition down. DPR effectively “idles’ these suspect
CPUs (deallocate), and marks those CPUs to not be used (deconfigured) on the next reboot cycle.
