Synopsis
mcelog enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated mcelog package that adds support for Opteron RevF's ECC
Threshold MCE is now available.
Description
Opteron RevF supports a new type of MCE, called an ECC Threshold MCE. A
root user can specify a threshold of ECC errors (on a per processor basis)
and the system will not generate an MCE until that many ECC errors have
occurred.
The mcelog user package has been updated to understand the new MCE and to
set a sensible default for the threshold.
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which adds this functionality.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
