Hi, has anyone chanced upon this problem:- I recently attended a customers who had memory errors on his AS600. I ran the memory test from the console. by typing "memory" and when I entered "show_status" it showed me that the read/write count was increasing. It eventually called out a MMB and Simm. I checked it was a correct call out by moving the Simm. Re-running the diagnostic called out the moved failing simm. I did not record the rev of the console. I then went to another customer who had 3 X AS600's running WNT4.0. One froze intermittently. I tried to run the console memory test (on all 3) and when I entered "show status" the read write count stayed at zero. It did not appear to be testing the memory. The SRM was at version 6.0-21 Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the console code etc. Any assistance on this one would be much appreciated. thanks in anticipation.

The memory command will create a background process to exercise the memory. Check to see if there is such a process. Use the >>> ps ax command to view all the active processes. If there is no background memory test process, your memory command failed for some reason. It could be due to one of the variables "d_group" not being set. Use >>> set d_group field and then run memory again. Check for background process. >>>showit will show the status every 5 sec. - Sridhar. | |||||
