ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryTotalWidth

Module: IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryTotalWidth

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Uint16

Access: read-only

Description: Total width, in bits, of the PhysicalMemory, including check or error correction bits. If there are no error correction bits, the value in this property should match that specified for DataWidth.

What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryTotalWidth?

This object reports the total data path width, in bits, of a physical memory module, including any check or error-correction bits alongside the usable data bits. Admins compare this to ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryDataWidth to determine whether a module supports ECC, since a total width larger than the data width indicates extra parity bits are present. For example, a module reporting a total width of 72 bits with a data width of 64 bits is using 8 bits per access for ECC.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryTotalWidth

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.120.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-MEMORY-MIB::ibmSystemPhysicalMemoryTotalWidth.1
