Enable redundant error path reporting

Select this option to enable the reporting of server common hardware errors from this logical partition to the Hardware Management Console (HMC). The service processor is the primary path for reporting server common hardware errors to the HMC. Selecting this option allows you to set up redundant error reporting paths in addition to the error reporting path provided by the service processor.

Server common hardware errors include errors in processors, memory, power subsystems, the service processor, the system unit vital product data (VPD), non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), I/O unit bus transport (RIO and PCI), clustering hardware, and switch hardware. Server common hardware errors do not include errors in I/O processors (IOPs), I/O adapters (IOAs), or I/O device hardware.

If this option is selected, this logical partition reports server common hardware errors and partition hardware errors to the HMC. If this option is not selected, this logical partition reports only partition hardware errors to the HMC.

This option is available only if the server firmware allows you to enable redundant error path reporting (the Redundant Error Path Reporting Capable option on the Capabilities tab in Managed System Properties is True.
