Extended Error Data Collection
This feature allows you to change the state of the collection of extended error data
(EED) in one or more managed systems.
The following types of EED can be activated and deactivated independently:
v
Central Service Processor (CSP) EED. CSP EED describes the current partition
status on the managed system.
v
Operating System (OS) EED. OS EED is the data collected from the erring partition.
EED is collected automatically for each serviceable event on a partition. The last
serviceable event’s EED is retained until a new serviceable event occurs. If EED
collection is enabled on the HMC, the EED collected on a partition is transferred to and
stored on the HMC’s hard drive. You can store up to 20 sets of serviceable-event EED
on the HMC’s local file system at any given time.
