Memory Failures The J Class system (with HP-UX 10.0 and later) uses Memory Page Deallocation, a feature that allows the system to provide information to the operating system about memory failures. You can use the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain information about the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single bit errors logged by the system. # /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter DUI >logtool Enter LOGTOOL> memrpt detail Enter The pdt can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the boot console handler (Refer to Chapter 9). If a failing SIMM is replaced, use the Service menu pdt clear command to clear out the PDT.
