ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDataWidth

Module: IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDataWidth

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Uint16

Access: read-only

Description: Data width of the PhysicalMemory, in bits. A data width of 0 and a TotalWidth of 8 would indicate that the Memory is solely used to provide error correction bits.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDataWidth?

This object reports the usable data width, in bits, of a physical memory module, separate from any error-correction overhead. Admins use it together with ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryTotalWidth to identify modules that are dedicated purely to parity, which the MIB notes would show a data width of 0 alongside a total width of 8. For example, a standard non-ECC DIMM would typically report a data width of 64 bits matching its total width.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDataWidth

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDataWidth.1
