How much memory do I have?

  • Follow



Hello,

I have a strange problem (to me) with my E250. When I run top it says 
'Memory: 1024M real'. When I run prtdiag it says 'Memory size: 1024 
Megabytes' but then it shows this:

========================= Memory =========================

        Interlv.  Socket   Size
Bank    Group     Name    (MB)  Status
----    -----    ------   ----  ------
   0      none     U0701   128      OK
   0      none     U0801   128      OK
   0      none     U0901   128      OK
   0      none     U1001   128      OK
   0      none     U0702   128      OK
   0      none     U0802   128      OK
   0      none     U0902   128      OK
   0      none     U1002   128      OK
   1      none     U0702   128      OK
   1      none     U0802   128      OK
   1      none     U0902   128      OK
   1      none     U1002   128      OK


So, how much memory do I have? 1024 or 1536 MB?

You have 1.5Gb in the system according to your output...
....output looks real strange by the way...

it lists same sockets several times and in disorder, se below
how it should look...

------

  0      none     U0901   128      OK
  0      none     U1001   128      OK

  1      none     U1002   128      OK
  2      none     U0703   128      OK
  2      none     U0803   128      OK
  2      none     U0903   128      OK
  2      none     U1003   128      OK
  3      none     U0704   128      OK
  3      none     U0804   128      OK
  3      none     U0904   128      OK
  3      none     U1004   128      OK


So I would assume one of the following...

1) you didnt cut and paste your message, it really looks another way
2) your prtdiag is bugged, check for patches
3) your hw is broken, fix...

The output is copied correctly. I have to contact the support then. 
Thank you.

If you want to know the physical memory size, use the prtconf command :

[root@box] prtconf | grep "Memory size"
Memory size: 4096 Megabytes

I notice that there are 4 cards in bank 1 and 8 cards in bank 0.
Perhaps the cards must be in pairs with equal amounts in bank 0
and 1.  If that is the case, 4 of your cards would be ignored.
Try putting 6 cards in each bank.

I think you have 1024MB of RAM, and NOT 1536MB. A bank of RAM on the
E250 is four slots, not eight, so something is wrong with bank 0.
(see below)

These four slots are very suspicious. On the one hand, they make bank0
have more than 4 slots (not possible), and furthermore, the socket
names are actually those from bank1 (below).

I think you have 1024MB, and a bug in either prtdiag or the OBP.
Check Sunsolve for patches on both of them.

Thanks, Colin. I will try to find a patch.
