dl580 g5 with 128GB ram
4 sockets with 6-core cpus - xwon x7460
9.20B firmware cd used to update firmware
I have tried the following items with no success:
running diagnostics from the smart start cd
upgrading firmware using the latest firmware update cd
rebooted multiple times (even cold boot by unplugging all power)
reseated all cpu sockets and reseated all ram
the post shows only 120GB ram (while there is 128GB installed) and then ESX only
sees 120GB. However, when going into the BIOS, it can see all 128GB of ram. run
ning a diagnostic shows all RAM available and when I check on the ram status via
iLO, it shows all DIMMs accounted for and working properly.
What do I need to do to get the system to recognize all 128GB of ram on POST?
Please let me know.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: server not seeing all ram on post
Try upgrading the BIOS firmware individually, I see there was a fix for this problem ├в Resolved an issue where the ROM would display the incorrect memory amount during boot when the system is configured with 128GB or more of memory and the Advanced Memory Protection (AMP) mode is configured to Online Spare Mode or Mirroring Mode.├в

Refer the following customer advisory:
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01403196
Also, check the memory configuration and partnumbers supported from the QuickSpec below:
