Re: Single bit error.

Single bit errors are correctable.  So if you don't have a storm of them, I wouldn't worry.

Do you have an idea when they occurred?

Re: Single bit error.

I have this error since 2 weeks and HP has suggetsed to replce due to over threshold of errors.

 

Will the server crash if it is not replaced or what could be the consequences.

It won't crash until you start getting double bit errors.  If you got all of those errors in the last two weeks, that may be a problem with DIMM 2A.

If this goes to 0, you'll also have problems.

Re: Single bit error.

You can view the dates when the error occurred by using STM.

 

$ cstm

cstm> ru

    Select Logtool

Logtool> vd

 

View the memory log details to see the last time the error was detected.

 

You can run this in one command if you like:

$ echo "ru\nlogtool\nvd\nDone\nExit\nOK\nExit\nOK" | /usr/sbin/cstm
