2.2.1 Memory boot time deconfiguration
Memory boot time deconfiguration is a function implemented in the service processor firmware for removing a memory segment or DIMM from the system configuration at boot time. The objective is to minimize system failures or data integrity exposure due to faulty memory hardware. The memory segment or DIMM that is deconfigured remains offline for subsequent reboots until the faulty memory hardware is replaced. This function provides the option for the user to manually deconfigure or
Memory can also be decreased with AIX using the rmss command. This is useful for certain benchmark simulations.
Note: Memory cards can physically be removed only when the power is turned off to the entire system.
