Description: The physically labeled socket or board position where the memory device is located.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDeviceLocator?

This object gives the physically labeled socket or board position identifier for where a memory device is installed, which may differ from the bank label depending on the vendor's board silkscreen conventions. Admins use it alongside the bank label to pinpoint exactly which physical slot holds a given memory module during hands-on maintenance. For example, this field might read 'DIMM_A1' to indicate the specific connector position on the motherboard.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDeviceLocator

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDeviceLocator.1
