Issue/Introduction

We are seeing the following message being generated on the console -

CAS9012A 00105 Key warnings/violations on CPU 062A88

We are receiving these alerts for CPU 062A88 on one of our LPARs, this CPU does not correspond to any CPUs we have. The proper CPU is 002A88 and the products we are receiving the alert for appear to be running fine. I even reran our LMP "update" job to make sure the keys were updated.

Environment

Cause

The CAS9012A message is a CA License warning message. The CPU information represents the CPU serial number along with the LPAR ID.

Resolution

Based on the results of the D M=CPU console command the information presented on the CAS9012A message is accurate.
