Clear Dell Memory Error

How to clear the SBE memory log on a Dell PowerEdge? The single-bit error (SBE) log records memory errors, and each DIMM slot has its own SBE log. If a dual-inline dcicfg command=clearmemfailures memory module (DIMM) generates errors and the SBE log is incremented dcicfg32 or becomes full, and later the DIMM is moved or replaced, the log entries are not automatically dcicfg esxi cleared. An SBE log that is full will remain full, even after the failing DIMM in that slot is replaced. The SBE log must be cleared manually by dell clear sbe log command line. Description SBE log is full. SBE memory errors were reported. Solution The command to clear the memory error count is dcicfg command=clearmemfailures The binary dcicfg is included in the OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) suite. Note: Most SBE log messages indicate a non-critical issue. If after clearing the memory failures, the same error occurs on the
Dcicfg Commands
DIMM, then your DIMM or DIMM slot may be faulty and should be replaced. In this case, swap the DIMM with a DIMM in another slot. If the error follows the DIMM to the new location, then the DIMM is faulty. If the error remains on the same slot, then the slot on the motherboard is faulty. Note: Clearing the ESM and alert logs alone does not reset the error count on DIMM. After clearing SBE memory log, SBE counter starts automatically. 2 methods are available to execute the command line Under the Operating System with OMSA installed Depending of the version of OMSA, you may run differents commands. To clear the SBE log with OMSA running on Windows OMSA LIVE 6.3 and higher Select Open Terminal. At the command prompt, type /dcicfg command=clearmemfailures. OMSA 5.0 Confirm the path c:\program files\dell\sysmgt\omsa\bin\dcicfg32.exe to make sure the utility is located here. Open Command Prompt by clicking Start, clicking Run, typing cmd, and then clicking OK. Type CD c:\program files\dell\openmanage\omsa\bin

It indicates a faulty DIMM that should be replaced but from what I read on blogs, the alert often clears and does not come back after reboots. Since it only tripped once for me, I cleared the memory errors using OMSA (dcicfg32.exe) and so far so good. share|improve this answer answered Sep 5 '13 at 14:02 AXE-Labs 6361616 This was a good move - replacement typically isn't warranted after a single occurrence, though I'd seriously consider it if the problem ever returns on that particular DIMM. –JimNim Sep 6 '13 at 14:52 Similarly, I was seeing "Single bit warning error rate exceeded" and "Single bit failure error rate exceeded" on a Linux host. These can be cleared as well but with omconfig: 'omconfig system alertlog action=clear' and 'omconfig system esmlog action=clear'. Lets hope they don't come back or its trash for the dimms. –AXE-Labs Mar 6 '14 at 20:18 Make sure you've got the latest firmware/BIOS too -- I have seen cases where these sorts of errors wer

You need OMSA to be installed on the server (Windows), if no use the live version which contains OMSA (http://www.dell-forum.com/servers/live-cd-link-centos-7-1/)The command to clear the error count is dcicfg32 command=clearmemfailures Depending on the version of openmanage that is installed you may find dcicfg32 in a variety of locations. Open a cmd prompt to the root of c:Type dir /s dcicfg32.exe to locate the utility.Go to that directory and run dcicfg32 command=clearmemfailuresIn some versions of Open Manage, this is located at c:\program files\dell\openmanage\omsa\bin\. In others, it is located at c:\program files\dell\sysmgt\omsa\bin\. « Last Edit: August 18, 2015, 04:57:49 AM by Admin » Tweet Logged Print Pages: [1] « previous next » Dell Unofficial Support Forum » For Enterprise » Servers » Clear Memory Error Log : SBE log is full.
