Abstract
A method and apparatus in a multiprocessor data processing system for managing a plurality of processors. Monitoring for recoverable errors in a set of processors is performed. Responsive to detecting a recoverable error for a processor in the set of processors, a determination is made as to whether the recoverable error indicates a trend towards an unrecoverable error. Responsive to a determination that the recoverable error indicates a trend towards an unrecoverable error, actions are initiated to stop the processor.
