In this video, we'll show how to enable and configure fault resilient memory on Dell powered servers. By enabling fault resilient mode, you can create a highly resilient memory zone for the hypervisor protecting it from the most severe memory errors before you begin. Ensure that the Bios version on your system is version 1.0 0.4 or later.
And you have a Vsphere enterprise or enterprise plus license to enable the VMWARE reliable memory technology. You must also ensure that the memory modules are populated on the memory channels to support the memory mode. For more information, see your system's owners manual at dell dot com forward slash powered manuals to begin, turn on your system and press F two to open the system set up page, select system bios and then select memory settings from the memory operating mode.
Dropdown menu, select fault resilient mode. Click back until you can view the system bio settings page and click finish and then click yes on the savings settings dialog box. After this click OK. On the success message to exit from the bio settings to exit from the system set up, click finish and then click yes to confirm the exit message, the system will restart automatically.
Next, the system loads the VM ware hypervisor and then initializes the related modules. Once the system is up and running it displays the VMWARE ESX I version and the Dell Power age model number on the direct console user interface screen. Now press all F one to go to the ESX I command line shell, enter the log in and password details and then press enter to view the total amount of physical memory available in the system.
The reliable memory used by the hypervisor and also the newer node count. Enter ESX I CLI hardware memory get at the command light show then enter ESX top to view CPU memory storage network statistics and other details. Now press M to view memory statistics.
The first new node shows less memory than the second note, it confirms that FRM has been enabled and converted on the Dell powered system to take care of severe memory errors. For more information about VM Ware ESX I and Dell products visit dell tech center dot com.
