Memory-mirroring mode
: When you use the memory mirroring feature,
consider the following information:
– Memory-mirroring mode replicates and stores data on sets of four DIMMs
simultaneously. If a failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the
set of memory DIMMs to the backup set of DIMMs. To enable memory
mirroring through the Setup utility, select
System Settings
→
Memory
. For
more information, see “Using the Setup utility” on page 402.
– DIMMs must be installed in sets of four. The DIMMs in each set must be the
same size and type. This is applicable also when you have the optional
memory tray installed in the server and the optional IBM MAX5 for System x
attached to the server. You must install DIMMs in sets of four DIMMs for
memory-mirroring mode in each one (the server, memory tray, and the
MAX5).
– The maximum available memory is reduced to half of the installed memory
when memory mirroring is enabled. For example, if you install 64 GB of
memory, only 32 GB of addressable memory is available when you use
memory mirroring.
