When analyzing a dump, displays information about the state of a
CPU at the time of the system failure.
SHOW CPU is only valid when you are analyzing a crash dump. It
is not a valid command when you are analyzing the running system,
because all the CPU-specific information may not be available.
If invoked when you are analyzing a running system, SHOW CPU will
only list the CPU database address(es) for the specified CPU or
all CPUs.
Format
SHOW CPU [cpu-id | /FIRST | /NEXT | /PRIMARY]
1 – Parameter
cpu-id
Numeric value indicating the identity of the CPU for which
context information is to be displayed. If you specify the cpu-
id parameter, the SHOW CPU command performs an implicit SET CPU
command, making the CPU indicated by cpu-id the current CPU for
subsequent SDA commands.
If you do not specify a cpu-id, the state of the SDA current CPU
is displayed.
If you specify the cpu-id of a CPU that was not active at the
time of the system failure, SDA displays the following message:
%SDA-E-CPUNOTVLD, CPU not booted or CPU number out of range
Type HELP SET CPU command and HELP CPU_CONTEXT for information
on how this can affect the CPU context (and process context) in
which SDA commands execute.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /FIRST
The state of the lowest numbered CPU (not necessarily the
primary CPU) is displayed.
2.2 /NEXT
The state of the next higher numbered CPU is displayed.
SDA skips CPUs not in the configuration at the time of
the system failure. If there are no further CPUs,
SDA returns an error.
2.3 /PRIMARY
The state of the primary CPU is displayed.
