Generating a data structure to maintain error and connection information on components and use the data structure to determine an error correction operation
First Claim
1. A computer program product for determining error handling operations at enclosures, wherein each enclosure includes at least one first level component, wherein each of first level components in each of the enclosures is connected to at least one second level component of second level components, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that when executed performs operations, the operations comprising:
- for each of the first level components, performing;
communicating with the enclosure including the first level component to determine errors at the first level component and a connection between the first level component to one of the second level components;
setting an error variable to indicate whether an error corresponding to the error variable was reported at the first level component; and
using error variables for the first level components to determine an error correction operation with respect to at least one of the first level component and a connected second level component for those first level components having the error variables indicating errors.

Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating data structure to maintain error and connection information on components and use the data structure to determine an error correction operation. For each of a plurality of first level components in enclosures connected to second level components, errors at the first level component and a connection between the first level component to one of the second level components are determined and error variables are set to indicate whether an error was reported at the first level component. A data structure is generated indicating connections among the first level components and the second level components. The error variable values and the data structure are used to determine an error correction operation with respect to at least one of the first level component and the connected second level component.
