Increase ram on rx6600

[mogiro]

Hi,
I have increased ram memory on my rx6600 from 8Gb to 12Gb by mounting 4 1Gb DIMM's more, but now when I boot the machine, it gets stopped on:
***********************************************************
* ROM Version : 03.01
* ROM Date : 09/26/2007
* BMC Version : 05.21
***********************************************************

1 0 0x0000A4 0x0000000000000000 start memory configuration


What shall I do? reboot it by rs from the command line in MP, or what else?
Thanks in advance,

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

As said before in the other thread - once you get into EFI run

Shell> info all

Consider to re-seat the DIMMs.

From the MP, run

MP:CM> df

and post.

[mogiro]

After a rs signal to the system, now it is unable to boot, it allways stops at the EFI...
Well, here you've got what you aked me for:

The memory looks good now ... what means "unable to boot"?

Try

EFI Shell> cd EFI/HPUX
Shell> hpux

... booting ...

once it is booted, run

# setboot

and post

[SKR_1]

Not looking the memory issue as the post output.

Active Memory : 12288 MB
Installed Memory : 12288 MB

At which location your server hanging now.

Thanks

SKR

[mogiro]

From the EFI shell I did
shell:> fs0:
fs0> hpux
and it starts to boot, even it checks the VG's and FS's but:

It maked the dump and then restarts

[Torsten.]

Did you change the kernel before?
(parameters, patches ...)

Try to boot the previous kernel.

[mogiro]

No, I didn't any kernel change...
How can I boot kernel before?
Is the first time I work with EFI, is my first integrity system, till the moment I allways has worked with PA-RISC (BCH and so, you know).
Thanks for your explanations.

[Torsten.]

From EFI shell do

EFI Shell> cd EFI/HPUX
Shell> hpux

... interrupt the timeout ...

HPUX> boot /stand/backup/vmunix

Well, I've tried to boot from the backup kernel, but it seems to be the same kernel as the current...
