Description
The Solaris(TM) Fault Manager has determined that the number
of correctable (single bit) memory errors reported against
a memory DIMM module indicates a fault requiring repair
action is present
.
Automated Response
The system will attempt to remove the affected page of
memory from service.
Impact
The system is at increased risk of incurring an uncorrectable
error, which will cause a service interruption, until the
memory DIMM module is replaced.
Suggested Action for System Administrator
For Sun Fire(TM) T1000, T2000 1280, 3800-6800, 2900-6900,
E12K, E15K, F20K, and F25K systems, it is imperative that
the System Controller be checked for evidence of a
faulty system board to ensure that the appropriate
service action is performed.
Use the fmdump(1M) command:
fmdump -vu <event-id>
to view the results of diagnosis and the specific Field
Replaceable Unit (FRU) identified for repair.
The event-id can be found in the EVENT-ID field of the
message. For example:
EVENT-ID:
39b30371-f009-c76c-90ee-b245784d2277
