HP Advanced Memory Protection Technology - delivers unsurpassed memory protection and HP Advanced Memory Protection Technology HP Advanced Memory Protection Technology HP Advanced Memory Protection Technology
server availability with the following supported modes of operation:
Advanced ECC (1 or More Memory Boards)
Advanced ECC Memory is the default memory protection mode for the HP ProLiant DL580
G3. In Advanced ECC, the server is protected against correctable memory errors. The server
will provide notification if the level of correctable errors exceeds a predefined threshold rate.
The server does not fail because of correctable memory errors.
Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC in that it is possible to
correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in server
failure. Whereas Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can
correct single-bit and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device
on the DIMM. Advanced ECC is the only mode in which hot-add operations are supported
by adding a memory board with memory to the server while it is running.
Online Spare Memory (1 or More Memory Boards)
Offers a higher level of memory protection than Advanced ECC alone. If the number of
single-bit correctable errors on a bank exceeds the pre-defined error threshold, that bank will
fail over to the online spare bank without intervention or server interruption. The failed
memory can then be replaced at the user's convenience during a scheduled maintenance
window.
Online Spare Memory is achieved by protecting active memory with online spare memory on
the same memory board. No operating system support is required.
Hot Plug Mirrored Memory (2 or 4 Memory Boards)
Hot Plug Mirrored Memory provides a higher level of availability than Advanced ECC and
Online Spare Memory. With Hot Plug Mirrored Memory, the server is protected against
uncorrectable memory errors that would otherwise result in server failure. Hot Plug Mirrored
Memory allows the server to keep two copies of all memory data on separate memory
boards. If an uncorrectable error is encountered, the proper data is retrieved from the
memory board that did not fail. In addition, Hot Plug Mirrored Memory allows failed or
degraded DIMMs to be replaced while the server is running without requiring server
downtime. The memory board with the failed DIMMs can be removed from the front of the
server, failed DIMMs replaced, and the board re-inserted into the server without disengaging
the server from the rack or interrupting the operating system.
