Hi Community,
Version and model - NX-1065-G6
I have a faulty DIMM in one node.
Memory | Uncorrectable ECC (@DIMMC1(CPU2)) | Asserted
I would like to remove it from the node and restart it. i.e. Not to replace it with a new memory module.
- Is this possible?
- Risks?
- How should I configure the node with the missing DIMM, or is it something that Nutanix takes care of automatically?
- Any other advice? Recommendations?
I found this document. Is this the correct one to follow?
Cheers!

Yea, you can do this. The \u201csymmetrical\u201d thing is for performance reasons; you want to make sure that all channels are \u201cbalanced\u201d and have the same number of DIMMs. It\u2019ll work if it\u2019s not balanced, but will likely be slower. This doc shows the supported balanced configurations of memory on that model: As far as getting Nutanix\u00a0to recognize that the DIMM is removed permanently and stop sending alerts, there\u2019s a way to do it, but it\u2019s not public and I don\u2019t remember what it is. Hit up Nutanix Support for that.<\/p>","className":"post__content__best_answer"}">
