Viewing CPU Properties
Procedure
Viewing Memory Properties
Procedure
Step 1 In the Navigation pane, click the Server tab. Step 2 On the Server tab, click Inventory. Step 3 In the Inventory pane, click the Memory tab. Step 4 In the Memory Summary area, review the following summary information about memory:
Name Description Memory Speed field
The memory speed, in megahertz.
Failed Memory field
The amount of memory that is currently failing, in megabytes.
Total Memory field
The total amount of memory available on the server if all DIMMs are fully functional.
Ignored Memory field
The amount of memory currently not available for use, in megabytes.
Effective Memory field
The actual amount of memory currently available to the server.
Number of Ignored DIMMs field
The number of DIMMs that the server cannot access.
Redundant Memory field
The amount of memory used for redundant storage.
Number of Failed DIMMs field
The number of DIMMs that have failed and cannot be used.
Memory RAS Possible field
Details about what memory configuration the server supports. This can be one of the following:
Memory Configuration field
The current memory configuration. This can be one of the following:
- Maximum Performance—The system automatically optimizes the memory performance.
- Mirroring—The server maintains two identical copies of the data in memory. This option effectively halves the available memory on the server, as one half is automatically reserved for mirrored copy.
- Sparing—The system reserves some memory for use in the event a DIMM fails. If that happens, the server takes the DIMM offline and replaces it with the reserved memory. This option provides less redundancy than mirroring, but it leaves more of the memory available for programs running on the server.
Step 5 In the Memory Details table, review the following detailed information about each DIMM:
Tip Click a column header to sort the table rows, according to the entries in that column.
Name Description Name column
The name of the DIMM slot in which the memory module is installed.
Capacity column
The size of the DIMM.
Channel Speed column
The clock speed of the memory channel, in megahertz.
Channel Type column
The type of memory channel.
Memory Type Detail column
The type of memory used in the device.
Bank Locator column
The location of the DIMM within the memory bank.
Manufacturer column
The vendor ID of the manufacturer. This can be one of the following:
Serial Number column
The serial number of the DIMM.
Asset Tag column
The asset tag associated with the DIMM, if any.
Part Number column
The part number for the DIMM assigned by the vendor.
Visibility column
Whether the DIMM is available to the server.
Operability column
Whether the DIMM is currently operating correctly.
Data Width column
The amount of data the DIMM supports, in bits.
Viewing Power Supply Properties
Procedure
Step 1 In the Navigation pane, click the Server tab. Step 2 On the Server tab, click Inventory. Step 3 In the Inventory pane, click the Power Supplies tab. Step 4 Review the following information for each power supply:
Tip Click a column header to sort the table rows, according to the entries in that column.
Name Description Device ID column
The identifier for the power supply unit.
Input column
The input into the power supply, in watts.
Max Output column
The maximum output from the power supply, in watts.
FW Version column
The firmware version for the power supply.
Product ID column
The product identifier for the power supply assigned by the vendor.
Viewing Storage Properties
Procedure
Step 1 In the Navigation pane, click the Server tab. Step 2 On the Server tab, click Inventory. Step 3 In the Inventory pane, click the Storage tab. Step 4 In the Storage Adapters area, review the information about the available adapter cards. This area contains a table listing all MegaRAID and Cisco Flexible Flash controllers on the server that can be managed through CIMC. To view details about a particular storage device, select it in the table and view the information in the tabs below.
If a particular storage device does not appear on this tab it cannot be managed through CIMC. To view the status of an unsupported device, see the documentation for that device.
Tip Click a column header to sort the table rows, according to the entries in that column.
Step 5 In the Storage Adapters area, click a row to view the detailed properties of that adapter. The properties of the selected storage adapter appear in the tabbed menu below the Storage Adapters area.
Step 6 Select the Controller Info tab and review the information. If a MegaRAID controller is selected in the Storage Adapters table, this tab shows the following information.
- Firmware versions
- PCI information
- Manufacturing information
- Running and startup firmware image information
- Virtual and physical drive counts
- General settings
- Capabilities
- Hardware configuration
- Error counters
If a Cisco Flexible Flash controller is selected in the Storage Adapters table, this tab shows the following information.
Area Name
Description
Actions Area
This area contains the following actions:
General Area
This area displays basic information about the controller, its status and internal state, and the firmware that it is running.
Physical Drive Count Area
This area displays the number of physical drives.
For more information, go to the Physical Drive Info tab.
Virtual Drive Count Area
This area displays the number of virtual drives.
For more information, go to the Virtual Drive Info tab.
Step 7 Select the Physical Drive Info tab and review the information. This tab shows the following information for the controller selected in the Storage Adapters table.
Step 8 Select the Virtual Drive Info tab and review the information. This tab shows the following information for the controller selected in the Storage Adapters table.
Step 9 Select the Battery Backup Unit tab and review the information. This tab shows information about the backup battery on the controller selected in the Storage Adapters table.
Note This tab does not apply if you select a Cisco Flexible Flash controller in the Storage Adapters table.
