Description: Indicates whether memory has error 1 - has error 0 - does not have error.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryHasError?

This value flags whether a physical memory module currently has an error condition, returning 1 if an error is present and 0 if the module is healthy. Admins poll this to catch failing DIMMs before they cause a system crash or unexplained instability. For example, seeing ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryHasError flip to 1 on one bank would prompt scheduling a replacement of that specific memory module.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryHasError

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryHasError.1
