[c-nsp] 12008 GRPB memory problem.

Mon Mar 17 09:32:09 EDT 2008

Have you installed a single 512M stick, or 2x 256M sticks? It may not be
able to recognize the extra banks in a 512M DIMM and thus would only be
able to see the first 256M of it.

Hmmm. Well I installed the RAM and it still thinks I have 256M instead
of
512M. Checked and upgraded the ROMMON to version 2.2 and am running
12.0(32)S8. Are there different versions of the GRP-B RPs? I know for
sure
that the RAM I have is 512M yet the RP still sees it as 256M. Anyone
have
any ideas or should I try and get another GRP-B to replace this one?

  FRU:  Linecard/Module: GRP-B=

        Route Memory: MEM-GRP/LC-256=

  MBUS Agent Software version 2.55 (RAM) (ROM version is 2.41)

  ROM Monitor version 2.2

  Primary clock is CSC 1

  Flags: 0x0  

  Board State is IOS Running  ACTIVE (ACTV  RP )

  Insertion time: 00:00:04 (16:48:06 ago)

  DRAM size: 268435456 bytes

looking at the log messages, the mallocfails were reported by the RP and
not
the linecards.

You need to check each line card for memory using attach. Older GSRs
had line cards with 128M, which will certainly not be enough with full
tables.
