Memory: Single-Bit Error

Im getting Single-Bit Error from my N4000 server, kindly refer to the attached file.

Thnks Experts.

WARNING: Current loading of DIMMs failed the distribution check. This means the memory subsystem may not operate at optimal performance levels. To correct, refer to DIMM loading rules and re-distribute DIMMs.

Re: Memory: Single-Bit Error

Hi,

You need the 1024 DIMMs in *all* the 0 EXTs
So swap 1a/1b EXT0 with 0a/0b EXT2.
And you should probably move 3a/3b EXT2 up to 3a/3b EXT0

Single bit errors are not a problem unless the happen constantly or you start getting near the PDT (Page Deallocation Table) limit which is normally 50 entries

HTH,
Jeff

Hi

I would also run this past HP to get their recommendations on this.

Re: Memory: Single-Bit Error

swapinfo????
Please explain why this is important.
Your problem is founded in how you have the DIMMS populated.
HP likes the largest DIMMS in the lowest slots & no "holes" in the addresses.

Do u hav any idea why is that dev memory utilization was 98% ? Is that related to that problem single bit error?

Re: Memory: Single-Bit Error

Only in that the system cannot use the memory optimally - performance-wise.
If it's that high & stays there then you need *more* memory.
