What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryIsActive?

This value reports whether a given physical memory module is currently active in the system, returning 1 if active and 0 if not. Admins check this to identify memory modules the operating system has recognized but disabled or taken offline, which could explain reduced usable RAM. For example, a DIMM showing ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryIsActive as 0 after a firmware update might indicate it was deconfigured due to a detected fault.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryIsActive

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryIsActive.1
