Re: MP Log

PDT is Page Deallocation Table.

If my understanding is correct, when a memory address produces repeated errors, the system uses PDT to disable the faulty bit of memory.

This happens at the hardware/firmware level, so the maximum size of the PDT is fixed.

PDT_TABLE_FULL errors mean that you have some memory that has so many failing locations the PDT cannot handle them all. If the fault gets worse, the system can no longer protect you from using known-bad bits of memory.

Recommendation: locate the faulty DIMM and replace it/have it replaced by HP.

The STM diagnostics (cstm/mstm/xstm) will usually give more human-readable information about the location of the failing DIMM.

Re: MP Log

Shalom,

You should be able to identify the specific memory chip thats gone bad with cstm. You already have enough information to do an HP Hardware call unless you've used Non-HP memory.

The replacement will require downtime.

Re: MP Log

All was lovely said. Just some more information: once in STM (I prefer cstm):

1. run logtool (type ru, select 2 for logtool)
2. type vda (shows you deallocation information)
-OR-
2. type vd (shows you entire memory log).

Re: MP Log

mark,

you can also clear the pdt table aswell, this will free up room for more or duplicates errors on the dimms until you can have them replaced

this requires a reboot to PDC level

reboot the server and stop it from booting.

select service from main menu at BCH

Ma > ser

Ser > pdtclear

this will then reset the system afterwards and reboot again. From here it can boot up normally.
