After you select the memory card option by entering 1, a menu displays, allowing the selection of a
memory book. The following is an example of this menu.
MEMORY CONFIGURATION/DECONFIGURATION MENU
1: 16.16(00, -) Configured by system
3: 18.18(00, -) Configured by system
98. Return to Previous Menu
Note: This table is built from vital product data collected during the last boot sequence. The first time
the system is powered on, or after the system's nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) has been erased, this
table may be empty. The table is rebuilt during the next boot into AIX.
The fields in the previous table represent the following:
Column 1
1. Menu selection index/book number
Column 2
xx.xx : Book address used by service processor
Column 3
(00, -) Error/deconfiguration status
The error status of the each memory book is indicated by (AB,-1) where B indicates the number of
errors and A indicates the type of error according to the following:
1. Bring-up failure
2. Run-time non-recoverable failure
3. Run-time recoverable failure
4. Group integrity failure
5. Non-repeat-gardable error. The resource may be reconfigured on the next boot.
An error status of (00, -) (for example, 11.16(00, -)) indicates that the memory book has not had any
errors logged against it by the service processor, and it is fully configured.
The field after the error status will be a dash (-), 0, or 1. The dash indicates that the memory book is
fully configured. A 0 or 1 indicates that memory repeat gard has deconfigured half of the memory book.
If this occurs, the status of the book in the menu is shown as Partially deconfigured by system.
To change the memory configuration, select the number of the memory book. The memory book state
will change from configured to deconfigured or from deconfigured to configured.
This menu only allows the deconfiguration of an entire book; it does not allow the manual
deconfiguration of half a book. If half a book has been configured by the system (Partially
deconfigured), it can be manually reconfigured using this menu.
In the previous example menu, each line shows two books and indicates whether they are configured,
deconfigured, or partially deconfigured.
To enable or disable Memory Repeat Gard, use menu option 77 of the Memory
Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu. The default is enabled.
