Description: Refers to the physical packaging of the memory examples - DIMM,SIMM,Chip.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryFormFactor?

This object encodes the physical packaging form factor of a memory module, such as DIMM, SIMM, or a bare chip, as a coded integer value. Admins use it to understand what kind of physical hardware occupies a memory slot when doing inventory or planning replacements. For example, a value corresponding to 'DIMM' confirms the module is a standard dual in-line memory module rather than an older SIMM or a soldered chip.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryFormFactor

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryFormFactor.1

Start monitoring IBM System x/Power series server (physical memory module status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryFormFactor OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any IBM System x/Power series server (physical memory module status) from a single console.
