PE R710 optimal memory configuration

Hi, we need to upgrade memory on our R710s. trying to find recommendations for configuring optimal memory for gen 11 servers without losing the memory speed. Came across a doc 2009, saying that we can not go beyond 1 DIMM per channel to 2 RDIMMs x without dropping speed to 1066. I'm sure that, after the updates to the BIOS, than the limit went from 1 to 2 DIMMs per channel. Can anyone confirm or share a most recent doc? Thanks in advance.

Hello.

The speed of the memory of each channel depends on the memory configuration. Yes, with the BIOS update as of May 15, 2009; Memory only rank and dual-rank modules supports up to 1333 MHz speed. See General information below.

  • Modules memory single or double-row:

    • One module of memory per channel supports up to 1333 MHz.
    • Two modules of memory per channel supports up to 1066 MHz. (review of BIOS on May 15, 2009, support was added for two modules per channel at 1333 MHz speed.)
    • Three modules of memory through are limited to 800 MHz, regardless of the speed of add-on memory.
  • For modules of memory Quad-rows:
    • One module of memory per channel supports up to 1066 Mhz.
    • Two modules of memory through are limited to 800 MHz, regardless of the speed of add-on memory.

If the memory modules with different speeds are installed, they won't work at the speed of the modules slower memory.

  • R715 not Optimal Memory Configuration

    Hello

    We have a bunch (35 ish) R715s all configured exactly the same. Each with two CPUs of AMD and the factory had modules memory 8 x 2 GB (1Rx8 PC3L-10600E-09-10-D0) inside.

    Recently, I wanted to test the addition of extra ram. So, I bought 8 x 4 GB ram (2Rx4 PC3-10600R-9-10-E1). It is based on manuals Dells and determinative webpage about what would accept this server. When you try to install the ram here are the scenarios and what happens:

    (1) add 8 new modules for the empty slots of 'Black '. The machine does not start just buzzing.

    (2) take the 8 old modules out of the 'White' slots and REPLACE them with 8 new modules. It starts, but says "WARNING: the installed memory configuration is not optimal.  However, the bios reads 32 GB of ram.

    (3) take it down to only 4 modules (new modules). Set as described in 'A1, B1, A2, B2' slot machines. Same message "not optimal" appears and reads the 16 GB of ram.

    I also made sure that I am under the latest firmware available. Can you please explain what I'm doing wrong and my best option for ram I have?

    Linxxs,

    Sorry you are having memory problems with the server. The first question that you see, which once try to mix modules DIMM, is that new modules DIMM was purchased are Rdimms. The original DIMM, you have on the server are UDIMM, which Rdimms and UDIMM cannot be mixed in the same system. That's why you see the post No..

    Now, when you install only the 4 GB Rdimms, the reason for the error "Not optimal" is that with the R715 with dual rank Rdimms, best would be 1333 mhz DIMM, where the rdimms 4 GB you ordered are at 1066 mhz. Now, these bars will work in the server, but is not optimal, where the error.

    Just a note side when examining options, with unique access, you are limited to only 2 GB DIMMS, in order to extend it to allow only allows you to add several DIMMs of 2 GB. With double access, you can run as is, but will be the error, or you can swap in DIMM 1333 mhz modules.

    Just a few things to consider.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • PowerEdge R710 E2011 memory configuration error

    I have a question that has me running around in circles.

    I'm the filling of a PE R710 server with 1 GB 1Rx8 PC3 - 10600E DIMMs, which works very well when the first two DIMM slots are filled for each channel. However, when I fill the third slot DIMM in any channel, I get the E2011 Memory Configuration error.

    I've already updated the system board BIOS to version 6.4 and still get this error.

    Can anyone out there tell me how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Pripley,

    Based on what you say, it seems that the question you are running in is due to the DIMM you are populating the server, that sound as if they are UDIMM. With UDIMM, as well as Quad DIMMS, you are limited to 2 DIMMs per channel. At the bottom of page 129 of the present manual, you see this limitation.

    Let me know if that answers your question about the memory problem, or if you have Rdimms and see this.

    who should be the best according to the manual also, but it gives even the same question. Can someone tell me please how to configure this option to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Riazansary,

    A couple of things that I see that would need to be clarified. What about processors, how you have installed? If you indeed have 4 processors installed, then the minimum number of DIMMS that you can use is 16, as it is necessary to have 4 DIMMS per processor. If you use 2 CPUs (1, 2) then the population would be 4 - A1 and B1 - 4. Table 3-2 on page 94 covers this, it shows that the minimum number of DIMM slots for 2 processors is 8 and 16 for 4 processors. - http://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-r815_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.pdf

  • Server memory configuration

    Hi guys,.

    Ask a question about the configuration of memory on hp gen8 servers.

    Does anyone no matter what the tests with memory configurations show various IE with full bus speed 1333 mhz 1900 mhz bus speed vs.

    I would like to see some comparisons on this topic, but can not find.

    We are running with (only) 128 GB for 1 900 mhz speed, I want to double but then let it go up to 1333 mhz and I don't want to cripple our memory applications running in the cluster.

    Anyone know where I can read on this?

    Cheers!

  • Dell PowerEdge R720 stuck on memory configuration

    Hello, maybe someone can help. I have a Dell R720 which had to restart Windows updates, once its been a bit problematic in that it sits on the configuration of the memory for about 20 minutes. Last night it never comes not beyond that.

    I read on a forum that it could be a driver of KVM switch problem?

    I also read that you can press ESC after publication and which will bypass this, problem, the server is a domain controller and nobody is there.

    Someone knows something similar?

  • C240 M3 blocked "memory configuration and test..."

    Hello

    This server was returned by just us to Cisco, which had lent because it was new.   We try to return to service, but have encountered the following problem.

    At first startup, the server receives as much as 'memory configuration and test..' message.  Just this message, it shows no progress in actually memory test.   After a few seconds it turns off, and then turns upward again, repeat that a few times before sit down you with the "memory configuration and test.." message at the top of the screen, but now also showing the address IP of MMIC inside.   The four led above the power button shows green fixed and switch ID unit than the blue LED power buttons, as they should.

    I can get to the MMIC login screen, but the password to the default password so can't get farther in this direction until we discover the new username/password details.  Unless anyone knows how to reset the default MMIC.

    I tried the following recovery steps...

    (1) if we set the J2065 ' Clear CMOS' jumper, the server doesn't work.  It powers up to the day before, but does not respond when you press the power button.

    (2) to the "recovery" of the J2068 rider don't seem to have any effect, the server does not read the USB key recovery file.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I remove the CMOS battery for a while, put back in place, try again and if still nothing... I would look for a motherboard replacement.

  • County of total memory configured in each cluster

    Hello

    I'm pretty new still, Powershell and PowerCLI, but I'm learning.

    I'm playing with, trying to extract data from my vCenter and its going well so far, with the help of this site and a lot of google'ing

    But now im running into a bit of a problem, I want to count the total amount of memory configured in each cluster. And what I soleved with this code:

    $confimem = get-Cluster |

    Select Name,

    @{N = 'Total configured memory GB'; E = {}

    [Math]: round (($_ |)) Get - VM | %{$_. MemoryMB} |

    Measure-object-sum | (Select sum - ExpandProperty) / 1 Ko, 1).

    }}

    And it gives a good result. But now I'm thinking it's account also all VM in the cluster, which is fed to the wide models and all that. I want to do is to include only the VM that is powered.

    And I was thinking something like: Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq 'Receiving'}, but I'm not experienced enough to know how to put this together.

    Any body help me solve this problem? I would be very happy

    Nice day.

    $confimem = get-Cluster | Select Name, @{N = 'Total configured memory GB'; E = {[Math]: round (($_ |))} Get - VM | Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | %{$_. MemoryMB} | Measure-object-sum | {{(Select-ExpandProperty Sum)/1 Ko, 1)}}

  • Memory configured

    Hello

    A virtual machine allows more memory than its configured memory?

    For example:

    ESXi host is to have 10 GB of memory. 2 VM are hosted on this. Dv01 & VM02 configured memory is 2 GB.

    (1) if the Application is running inside the virtual machine requires more memory, then Will VM would be able to use memory configured 2 GB of memory conc as host is to have additional 6 GB of memory?

    Hello

    When you say 'configured memory', I guess you are trying to say that it is the memory that you have assigned as you created the virtual machine.

    In this case, not your virtual machine cannot be used more than it is configured with. you increase the memory.

    Please see below the link and image captured from pubs of vmware.

  • R710 upgrade memory

    We have the upgrade memory of the r710, what configuration of the slot machine is the best?

    4x16gb kingstonn ktd-pe313lv / 16 gb

    A1 - A2, B1 - B2?

    This mode, the server tell who 'ECC mode.

    Tiagoheineck,

    To clarify, you see the server say that ECC is now disabled? Seeing that is probably due to the way memory is set to ECC, but with a memory this barrette in A1, it will disable this mode memory.  To fill the server in Adv ECC mode would need the DIMM in the slot, A2, A3 and B2, and B3.

    If you set the Server Mode Memory Optimizer then DIMMs would indeed go to A1, A2, B2, and B3.

    To check the mode server is set to access just the BIOS (F2 at startup), then under the memory settings, check what is the Mode of operation classified memory.

    Finally, although the R710 supports 16 GB DIMMs, there are some processors that may not be compatible with the help of the 16 GB DIMMS. Let me know which processor is installed and I can let you know compatibility.

    Let me know.

  • Aurora-R5, Memory Configurations

    Hello guys,.

    Is it possible to make the configuration of memory as one (2 x 8) 2400 MHz + (2 x 16) 2400 MHz (in 48 GB total)? I checked Aurora R5 installation and configuration, it is said that supported 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB Configurations.

     

    I was curious that the configuration should always be the same as 2 x 16 or 4 x 8 or 4 x 16 or 2 x 8... ???

    Thank you

    Im sure at 2400 mhz the Aurora is supported up to 16 GB.

  • ProLiant DL380 G6 memory configurations

    Our servers ESX host of base HP Proliant DL380 G5s in recent years (2-Quad Core procs with 32 GB of memory).

    We intend to jump to the G6s DL380 (2 Quad Cores and 64 GB of memory) and I always rolled my head around configurations of memory. Looks like I could go with 8-8 GB or 16-4 GB Dual RDIMMS. For our company, I don't see us willing to go more than 64 GB for a host for the free slots aren't a concern.

    The choice seems obvious because of differences in cost between the two. I guess this leaves of performance.

    1. What is the difference real performance one would expect between these two configurations?

    2. This change when we jump from ESX 3.5 to VSphere?

    3. Are there other aspects that I'm on.

    With the virtualization environment, more memory of course provide best performance and host virtual machines more than you have known, the only thing that would be if you must attach these 2 types of hosts G5 & G6 in a cluster, you will be not able to VMotion and you should activate CVS to work otherwise use CPU masking in the parameters of the advance on CPUID NX indicator that could do otherwise use VMware CPU Compatility tool to check that well.

    Many of my clients are satisfied with DL360 G6s and also running 64 GB of RAM but it using DIMMs 8x8GB.  I would use whatever it is cheaper for your cost as long as it has the same requirements of 64 GB of memory.  Unless you have plans for the future expansion of 128 GB, then using 16 x 4 DIMMS would be a long-term strategy.

  • Virtual maching has affinities CPU or memory configured, preventing VMotion

    I tried to manually migrate a virtual machine from one ESX to another ESX. They are on the shared storage, 3.5 with update 2, same type of server with the same type of processor. But when I migrate the virtual machine, it is said that virtual Maching memory and CPU affinity configured, preventing them from VMotion.
