Abstract
An error message is generated by a hardware element of a distributed computer system, when an error is detected. The error message is then forwarded from the hardware element to one or more designated processing nodes of the distributed computer system. The hardware element includes, for instance, a switch element or a communications adapter adapted to report detected errors.
