P6 550 8204E8A 客户配置:是4C/2个CPU板,第一个内存板上4条1G(2,4-7,9上插着),第二个内存板上8条1G插满了,客户想再升级4G内存。

---销售订了两条4G的内存,因为手册上说不同容量的内存不能混插,把第一个内存板上原来的4条1G内存去掉,换上新的2条4G加上后,新加的内存在ASMI里面显示Deconfig,试着直接把Deconfig改成config,提示不能生效。手册上说2个内存板时内存需要4条添加。

--销售又订了4条2G的,和4条1G的内存,再去客户处安装,把第一个内存板上原来的4条1G内存去掉,换上新的4条2G加上后,新加的内存在ASMI里面显示Deconfig,现在怀疑是新加的内存微码和机器不匹配?

--只不执行第二种方案了,把第一个内存板上原来的4条1G内存再插上,把4条1G的也加上后,新加的内存在ASMI里面显示config,说明认到了,在内存选项里显示已配置16G,configed 也是16G.

此环境是P550联接了HMC,需要在HMC里把动态内存分配给相应的profile,需要进入系统后不会立刻认到,需要重启操作系统才会认到刚才动态添加的内存。

Notes:
  • Memory modules installed on the same processor assembly must identical in size, speed, and feature code.
  • Memory modules installed on different processor assemblies can be different sizes and speeds.
  • Each memory feature consists of one pair of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). Each processor card can have two, four, or eight DIMMs.
  • When two processors are installed, alternate installing memory modules between the first processor and the second processor.
  • Memory features 4520, 4521, and 4522 are not available with processor feature 4967.

Processors and memory
Where to install memory modules
Memory plugged in pairs
Plug the first pair of memory modules into memory module slots P1-Cn-C2 and P1-Cn-C7. Plug the second pair of memory modules into memory module slots P1-Cn-C4 and P1-Cn-C9.
Important: Memory modules installed on the same processor assembly must be identical in size, speed, and feature code. After the second pair of memory modules, the memory modules become a quad.
One processor card, memory plugged in quads
o                                Plug the first quad of memory modules into memory module slots P1-Cn-C2, P1-Cn-C4, P1-Cn-C7, and P1-Cn-C9.
o                                Plug the second quad of memory modules into memory module slots P1-Cn-C1, P1-Cn-C3, P1-Cn-C6, and P1-Cn-C8.
Important: Memory modules installed on the same processor assembly must be identical in size, speed, and feature code. After the second pair of memory modules, the memory modules become a quad.
Multiple processor cards, memory plugged in quads
Memory should be balanced on each processor card, unless you have an odd number of memory modules.
o                                Plug the first quad of memory modules into memory module slots P1-Cn-C2, P1-Cn-C4, P1-Cn-C7, and P1-Cn-C9 on each processor card.
o                                Plug the second quad of memory modules in slots P1-Cn-C1, P1-Cn-C3, P1-Cn-C6, and P1-Cn-C8 on each processor card.
Important: Ensure that the memory modules installed on the same processor assembly are identical in size, speed, and feature code. However, memory module feature codes can be different between processor assemblies.
