Description: A string identifying the physically labeled bank where the Memory is located - for example, 'Bank 0' or 'Bank A'.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryBankLabel?

This object gives the human-readable label of the physical memory bank where a module is installed, matching the silkscreen printed on the motherboard, such as 'Bank 0' or 'Bank A'. Admins use it to physically locate a specific memory module reported as faulty when performing on-site hardware replacement. For example, if ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryHasError is set for the row labeled 'Bank 2', a technician knows exactly which slot to open the chassis and replace.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryBankLabel

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryBankLabel.1
