Omconfig Chassis Leds Or Omconfig Mainsystem Leds

Use the omconfig chassis leds or omconfig mainsystem leds command to specify when to flash a chassis fault LED or chassis

identification LED. This command also allows you to clear the LED of the system hard drive. The following table displays the valid

parameters for the command.

Table 48. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Leds Or Omconfig Mainsystem Leds

name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2 Description

index=<n> NA Number of the chassis where the LED

resides (defaults to chassis 0, main

system chassis).

led=fault severity=warning | critical Select to flash the LED either when a

warning event occurs or when a critical

event occurs.

led=hdfault action=clear Sets the number of faults for the hard

drive back to zero (0).

led=identify flash=off | on time-out=<n> Sets the chassis identification LED to off

or on. Set the time-out value for the LED

to flash to a number of seconds.

Omconfig Chassis Memorymode Or Omconfig Mainsystem Memorymode

Use the omconfig chassis memorymode or omconfig mainsystem memorymode command to specify the redundancy mode to use

for the system memory in case of memory errors.

Redundant memory enables a system to switch to other available memory modules if unacceptable errors are detected in the

modules that the system is currently using. The omconfig chassis memorymode or omconfig mainsystem memorymode command

allows you to disable redundancy; when you disable redundancy, you instruct the system not to switch to other available memory

modules when the memory module the system is using begins to encounter errors. To enable redundancy, choose among spare,

mirror, raid, and DDDC.

Spare mode disables a bank of system memory in which a correctable memory event is detected, enables the spare bank, and

copies all the data from the original bank to the spare bank. Spare bank requires at least three banks of identical memory; the

operating system does not recognize the spare bank.

Mirror mode switches to a redundant copy of memory when an uncorrectable memory event is detected. After switching to the

mirrored memory, the system does not switch back to the original system memory until the next reboot. The operating system does

not recognize half of the installed system memory in this mode.

RAID mode provides an extra level of memory checking and error recovery at the expense of some memory capacity.

The DDDC mode enables double device data correction. This ensures data availability after hard failure of x4 DRAM.

NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems. On PowerEdge 12G systems,

memorymode is grouped under Memory Settings of the BIOS setup group. For more information, see BIOS Setup

Groups on PowerEdge 12G Systems.

To configure the attribute on systems prior to PowerEdge 12G, see the following table. The table displays the valid parameters for

the command.
