C220 M3 firmware upgrade path

[maddyguru8525]

Hi 

I have using CIMC firmware version 1.4(7a) and bios ver c220M3.1.7b.0

facing issue DDR3_P1_B1_ECC error and its showed failed memory 4096.

how to troubleshoot this issue?

Please suggest which firmware version needs to upgrade?

You can just replace the DIMM if it showing failed. You can also try to reseat or swap the DIMM with another slot.

A firmware upgrade will likely not fix that issue.

Initially it was unable to reach CIMC controller. after replacing the RAM slots only working and able to reach my CIMC and application. 

The functionally ok, but its shows mentioned the error. DDR3_P1_B1_ECC.

DIMM_B1 failed.

The CIMC functionality will generally work even if there is an overall processor or DIMM failure, provided the CIMC has already been configured prior to those failures..

If you replaced a DIMM, and were previously having issues reaching your CIMC, then you were likely hitting a  memleak issue in the CIMC, which a hard power cycle will resolve, and something you likely did during the DIMM replacement.

You will want to upgrade your CIMC to avoid the memleak issue where the web interface no longer responds.
