DSECT NAME - PRCTOP FUNCTION - Map a Monitor record. LOCATED BY - Through the Monitor Control Area REFERENCED CONTROL BLOCKS - MRRECHDR Monitor Record Header NAME - MRPRCTOP DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Event Record Domain 5 - Processor Domain Record 14 - System Topology DESCRIPTION - Provides System Topology counts and STSI 15.1.x output. NOTES - 1. The system topology monitor records are identical and need to stay that way. The identical records are MRPRCTOP (D5R14) and MRMTRTOP (D1R26). 2. For additional information about the format and meaning of fields defined in this record (especially the PRCTOP_STSI field), refer to the following books: - Principles of Operation for the layout of the variable length STSI 15.1.x output which is documented in Chapter 10 under "STORE SYSTEM INFORMATION". Anyone looking at the STSI data in this record should read about the format of the data and the CPU Topology Overview contained there. (SA22-7832-08) 3. It is impossible to state every situation in which a topology change occurs and this record is cut because placement of the LPAR is determined by PR/SM. However, some likely causes include: - Activating an LPAR on the CPC - Deactivating an LPAR on the CPC - VARYing OFF or VARYing ON logical CPUs in LPARs - Changes in the available CPC hardware (such as taking a node offline for service)
