    About Predictive Self-Healing In Solaris 10 systems, the Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) technology enables Sun Fire V445 server to diagnose problems while the Solaris OS is running, and mitigate many problems before they negatively affect operations. The Predictive Self-Healing technology covers the following Sun Fire V445 server...

  • Page 105: Figure 4-1 Location Of Dimm Groups 0 And 1

    The figure below shows the DIMM slots and DIMM groups on a Sun Fire V445 server CPU/Memory module. Adjacent slots belong to the same DIMM group. The two groups are designated 0 and 1.

  • Page 106: Memory Interleaving

    You can use the PSH features in Solaris 10 to diagnose and identify problems in DIMMs. For more information, see the Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Guide. Memory Interleaving You can maximize the system’s memory bandwidth by taking advantage of its memory interleaving capabilities.

  • Page 107: Removing A Cpu/Memory Module

    You can replace a functioning IDPROM and install it into another system, thereby preserving the system’s host ID information and configuration settings. Thus, migrating an IDPROM from one system to another can smooth transitions to new or upgraded systems, or quickly bring up a backup system if a primary system becomes unavailable without disrupting the system’s identity on the network.

  • Page 108: What To Do

    Note – Faulty CPU/Memory modules can be isolated and brought offline using the PSH features in Solaris 10. For more information, see the Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Guide and the Solaris 10 documentation. 2. Loosen the two captive Phillips screws securing the CPU/Memory module to the CPU cage.
