What does

Code:

fmadm faulty

show? If replacement is needed, then do it. Once the system "thinks" a certain way about errors it is really hard to try to operate the system like the problem does not exist. As you are seeing. And in fact, doing so may cover up even more serious issues.

I'm not sure what you are actually seeing. Your response seems to me like you have no support contract more than anything else. Which is understandable, but very hard to work around sometimes.

I don't recommend this, but if you are truly desperate try using the

Code:

fmadm repair

command. I do not recommend it except as a last ditch desperation approach to getting a box going for a short time. Once the error occurs again, you are back to square one.

EDIT: let me put this another way - I had a system which showed bad memory, but when the tech search the fmadm information, he found it was a PCI-e problem. But at first blush the system "thought" it was a DIMM. Let Oracle look at it. Don't decide on your own. My first take was wrong.
