ABSTRACT:
A system for booting a multi-processor computer. If a normal boot attempt fails, different processors are selected, one-at-a-time, for performing the boot routine. During the boot routing, all other processors are held inactive. After boot, processors are tested for health. Non-healthy processors are held inactive, and healthy processors are activated as usual.
