  • Method and apparatus for filtering error logs in a logically partitioned data processing system
    Patent number: 6842870
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for reporting errors to a plurality of partitions. Responsive to detecting an error log, an error type for the error log is identified. If the error log is identified as a regional error log, an identification of each partition to receive the error log is made. Then, the error log is reported to each partition that has been identified to receive the error log.
