Issue

  • "BootDimmDisableAlert" reported for multiple DIMMs from system health alert show

Node: node-01
Alert ID: BootDimmDisableAlert
Resource: DIMM-10
Severity: Major
Indication Time: XXX XXX XX XX:XX:XX XXXX

Suppress: false
Acknowledge: false
Probable Cause: "DIMM-10" has been disabled to preserve memory
interleaving. The system has booted with less memory.
Possible Effect: System memory has been reduced, which can impact
performance of the node.
Corrective Actions: Repair failed or mapped-out DIMMs in the system. Then,
reset the system to re-enable disabled DIMMs.

  • ECC error, other POST memory errors and platform.reducedMemory event can be found in the serial console log.
