PCI Error Recovery

The PCI Error Recovery feature provides the ability to detect, isolate, and automatically recover from a PCI error, avoiding a system crash. PCI Error Recovery is included with the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system, and it is enabled by default.

	NOTE: PCI Error Recovery is not supported on all platforms. To determine if PCI Error Recovery is supported on your system, see the PCI Error Recovery Support Matrix: http://www.docs.hp.com/en/ha.html#PCI%20Error%20Recovery

With the PCI Error Recovery feature enabled, if an error occurs on a PCI bus containing an I/O card that supports PCI Error Recovery the following events occur:

If the PCI Error Recovery feature is disabled and an error occurs on a PCI bus, a Machine Check Abort (MCA) or a High Priority Machine Check (HPMC) will occur, and the system will crash.
