A method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable storage medium that, in
an embodiment, set uncorrectable error indicators in logical memory
blocks in response to detecting an uncorrectable error in memory pages
associated with the logical memory blocks. If the logical memory block is
allocated to a hypervisor, the memory page may be deallocated in response
to detection of the uncorrectable error. When an IPL of a partition is
subsequently performed, a determination is made whether a logical memory
block allocated to the partition previously encountered the uncorrectable
error via the uncorrectable error indicator. If the logical memory block
did previously encounter the uncorrectable error, the logical memory
block is deallocated from the partition. In an embodiment, if spare
memory exists, the logical memory block with the previously encountered
uncorrectable error is replaced with the spare memory and the IPL of the
partition is continued with the spare memory.
