How to isolate a bad dimm by command on Solaris 10 host?
Hello,
I have a HP ProLiant DL385 ( X86 ) running Solaris 10 on it.
Our hardware team passwd by server last night and noticed an amber light to indicate a possible bad dimm.
/var/adm/messages, dmesg, prtdiag -v, all shows nothing.
/opt/HPQhealth/sbin/hpasmcli indicated I have a bad dimm at module 2:
Cartridge #: 0
Module #: 2
Present: Yes
Form Factor: 9h
Memory Type: 12h
Size: 2048 MB
Speed: 400 MHz
Status: Dimm is degraded
Since this server has 8 memory and 2 CPUs, customer is requesting to isolate this bad dimm and keep the server running for production applications.
System Configuration: HP ProLiant DL385 G1
BIOS Configuration: HP A05 03/01/2006

DDR in use 1 DIMM 01
DDR in use 1 DIMM 02 --> I think this is the bad dimm
DDR in use 2 DIMM 03
DDR in use 2 DIMM 04
DDR in use 3 DIMM 05
DDR in use 3 DIMM 06
DDR in use 4 DIMM 07
DDR in use 4 DIMM 08
Does anyone know how to isolate DIMM 02 online by either Solaris 10 command or HP command?
Thank you very much,
SC
