Is this recoverable?

Hi,

Looks like a single bit error which was already corrected. However to be on the safer side, you may want to replace the module in questions. to get the module info, if you have stm installed, try,

echo 'selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog' |cstm >/tmp/mem_info.txt

more /tmp/mem_info.txt

Hope this helps.

A memory parity error was detected and corrected. If this happens very rarely, don't worry about it but it it occurs perhaps once per week or so then it's time to call your HP Mr. Goodwrench.

Hello,

This depends on your perspective. This indicates that it was a single bit error and a correctable one at that. It could be an indicator that one of your DIMMS is going bad, but whether or not you want to replace it depend on:

1. How frequently are these occurring?

2. Is your box under warranty/maintenance contract or is it out of your pocket.

If this is the only error you have received then I would at this time say, yes, it is recoverable and it just went on about its business. If this happens all the time, especially at the same address (0xf546f60
), I'd consider changing the memory (remember always in pairs)

Hope this helps
