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.
