Incorrect system memory details on Lockstep sparing mode

#Incorrect system memory details on Lockstep sparing mode| 来源: 网络整理| 查看: 265

Problem

With lockstep sparing mode enabled on the above memory configuration, the system memory details are incorrect. Although the total memory size is what is expected on the system summary page, setup shows that DIMMs 1-3, 10-12, and 16-21 are all fully reserved for Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS). Whereas the correct implementation only reserves one DIMM per channel.

RETAIN tip: H005730

Symptom

With lockstep sparing mode enabled on the above memory configuration, the system memory details are incorrect. Although the total memory size is what is expected on the system summary page, setup shows that DIMMs 1-3, 10-12, and 16-21 are all fully reserved for Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS). Whereas the correct implementation only reserves one DIMM per channel.

Affected configurations

The system is configured with one or more of the following Lenovo Options:

16 GB ( Dual-Rank x4) 1.35 V PC3L-12800 CL11 ECC DDR3 1600 MHz LP RDIMM, Option part number 46W0672, any model 16 GB ( Dual-Rank x4)1.5 V PC3-14900 CL13 ECC DDR3 1866 MHz LP RDIMM, Option part number 00D5048, any model 16 GB ( Quad-Rank x4) 1.35 V PC3L-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 1333 MHz LP LRDIMM, Option part number 49Y1567, any model 4 GB ( Dual-Rank x8) 1.5 V PC3-14900 CL13 ECC DDR3 1866 MHz LP RDIMM, Option part number 00D5028, any model 8 GB ( Dual-Rank x8) 1.35 V PC3L-12800 CL11 ECC DDR3 1600 MHz LP RDIMM, Option part number 00D5044, any model 8 GB ( Dual-Rank x8) 1.35 V PC3L-12800 CL11 ECC DDR3 1600 MHz LP UDIMM, Option part number 00D5016, any model

This tip is not system specific.

This tip is not software specific.

The following system BIOS or UEFI level(s) are affected:

25F Golden Master Build Solution

This behavior will be corrected in a future release of UEFI build.

The target date for this release is scheduled for fourth quarter 2015.

The file is or will be available by selecting the appropriate Product Group, type of System, Product name, Product machine type, and Operating system on IBM Support's Fix Central web page, at the following URL:

Incorrect Memory Reference Code (MRC) setup menu configuration resulted in wrong DIMM displays in setup.

Workaround

Although the memory setup for reserved DIMMs is incorrect, the user can still validate that the system is properly configured for ranksparing by checking the net DIMM size and the system configuration status in the setup menu. If the system information displays that the system is in "Lockstep Mirroring Mode" and the DIMM size is less than a fully configured system, the system is properly configured for lockstep sparing mode.

Additional information

The symptoms occur because the setup menu is not properly displaying mixed DIMMs configured for ranksparing. Judging from MRC serial trace, however, ranksparing is happening correctly. The memory size/DIMM configurations are not displayed correctly in the setup menu. Although the user cannot accurately assess which DIMMs are spared, the user can work around the problem by swapping the spared and active DIMMs.
