Description: The type of PhysicalMemory.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryMemoryType?

This object reports a coded value identifying the underlying memory technology type of a physical memory module, such as DRAM, SDRAM, or DDR variants. Admins use it to verify what kind of RAM is installed when planning upgrades or troubleshooting compatibility issues. For example, this value would distinguish a DDR4 module from an older DDR3 module in a mixed-hardware fleet inventory.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryMemoryType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryMemoryType.1
