What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryStatus?

This object reports the current operational status of a physical memory module as a descriptive string, summarizing its overall health state. Admins monitor this value as a quick top-level health check for each installed memory module, alongside the more granular IsActive and HasError flags. For example, this field might read 'OK' for a healthy module or 'Degraded' for one showing signs of failure.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryStatus.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryStatus.1
