Cause

Three of the four servers had memory errors. These need to be resolved before proceeding.  
The memory health monitor feature has detected a degradation in the DIMM installed in DIMM_A6. Reboot system to initiate self-heal process.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, fix the memory errors.

  1. Drain the node with the iDRAC showing the failed memory. 
  2. Once drained, run the following commands in a PEP PowerShell window. 
get-virtualdisk -cimsession "s-cluster"
get-virtualdisk -cimsession "s-cluster" | get-storagejob
  1. Once all storage jobs are complete, cold boot the server from the iDRAC
  2. Verify that the DIMM has healed: 
    The self-heal operation successfully completed at DIMM DIMM_A6.
  3. In the Azure Stack window, Start the node.
  4. In the Azure Stack window, Resume the node.
