Each instance of the Memory module represents a memory module in the server.
●The Status parameter will raise an "on the fly" alert on servers that can dynamically handle failed memory modules or, most often, for modules that have been disabled by the BIOS upon reboot (the module is then flagged as "missing"). ●The Error Count parameter represents the number of errors that have been fixed by ECC-enabled memory modules. ●In some case, the Predicted Failure parameter is used to alert administrators that the memory module is about to fail. ●The use of the Error Count, or Predicted Failure parameter depends on the technology being used to report the health of memory modules.  | The "Status" parameter reports an Alarm if the "Error Count" parameter is greater than zero (that is: the disk encountered some errors). Since the counter is reset every 24th hour, the corresponding alert on the Status parameter will automatically be cleared after 24 hours. This mechanism enables BPM Express for Hardware/Portal to report pure event-driven alerts with no need for manual acknowledgment from the operators. |
Parameters
|
|
|
|
|
Error Count 
|
Displays the number of errors encountered since last counter reset (every 24hrs by default).
|
Errors
|
Warning = “!”
Alarm = “!!”
|
Error Status
|
This parameter will trigger an alert if the number of memory errors reaches a threshold set by the manufacturer’s agent.
Value set by memoryColl every 2 minutes.
|
Values:
OK; Warning; Alarm
|
Warning = “!”
Alarm = “!!”
|
Locator
|
Helps to physically locate a component.
|
n/a
|
n/a
|
Predicted Failure
|
Raises an alert through the Status parameter if a memory failure is expected.
|
n/a
|
n/a
|
Status
|
Status of the memory.
Example: “OK” or “Warning! This memory module encountered an abnormal number of internal errors”.
|
Values:
OK; Warning; Alarm
|
n/a
|
| "Status" is a text parameter that describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. Alert conditions describe in symbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a warning; two exclamation marks raise an alarm. |
Example
If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the memory module have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Warning! This memory module encountered an abnormal number of internal errors” or “Alarm!! An imminent failure is predicted on this memory module”, or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions.
