VMware vSphere 5 On Dell PowerEdge Systems Deployment Guide
Enabling Dell NUMA Fault Resilient Memory
The following
conditions must be fulfilled before you enable NUMA FRM:
- ESXi 5.5 U2 must be deployed on any of the following Dell PowerEdge
systems:
- M630
- R730
- R730XD
- R630
- FC630
- The BIOS version on your system must be 1.2.1 or later for Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge systems that supports VMware ESXi 5.5 U2 or later under ESXi 5.5.x..
- The memory modules must be populated on the memory channels to support Mirror Mode. For more information, see your system Owner’s Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
- You need vSphere Enterprise or Enterprise Plus licensing to enable the VMware Reliable Memory technology.
Complete the
following steps to enable FRM on your system:
- Turn on your system.
The Dell logo is displayed.
- Press F2 to open the System Setup page
- Use the up- and down-arrow keys to select the System BIOS option, and then select Memory Settings .
- Select NUMA Fault Resilient Mode for Memory Operating Mode.
CAUTION: Dell recommends that you do not modify other settings unless you are familiar with the settings. Modifying settings could cause your system to fail to boot or function properly.
- Press Enter, and follow the on-screen procedure to save these changes.
- Restart your system.
NOTE: No further configuration changes are required for ESXi to make use of the reliable memory region.
