never be supported.)
Processor: The features below nearly eliminate the down time associated with processor cache
errors (which are the majority of processor errors). If a processor is exhibiting excessive cache
errors, HP UX 11i version 2 will ONLINE activate to take its place. Furthermore, the processor
cache will automatically be repaired on reboot, eliminating the need for a service call.

Memory: The memory subsystem design is such that a single SDRAM chip does not contribute
more than 1 bit to each ECC word. Therefore, the only way to get a multiple-bit memory error
from SDRAMs is if more than one SDRAM failed at the same time (rare event). The system is also
resilient to any cosmic ray or alpha particle strike because these failure modes can only affect
multiple bits in a single SDRAM. If a location in memory is "bad", the physical page is deallocated
dynamically and is replaced with a new page without any OS or application interruption. In
