show tech support hanging at initiating.

Hi all,

UCS blade M3 200 is showing RAM Degraded.

• Confirmed RAM inventory was identic in the OS and BIO.
• Acknowladge the error
• reset the bmc

None of these resolve the issue.

I decided to collect collect the show tech support but this is stuck at initiating

How can I clear this process and re-issue the show tech support to see if this run

Rami,

What version of UCSM??

If the system is still sitting at initializing the tech bundle you can try to force a switchover. 

connect local-management

cluster lead b

A RAM degraded message means the system has detected a correctable error but is still being used.  This isn't something you can clear by acknowledging the error.  It could indicate a problem DIMM.  If the OS and BIOS display the max memory amount this means it has not mapped out - which is good.  Have a look at the blade's memory stats and see how frequently the CE memory errors are happening.  If they happen as a one-time event they may eventually clear.  If they continue to occur you should open a TAC case and replace the DIMM.

Regards,

Robert

I'm no UC guy but can you try this:  sh tech uc | redirect TFTP:///filename.txt

Try running TFTPd32 /TFTPd64.
