That second link suggested resetting the CIMC and re-acknowledging the server. I tried that and it fixed it - the slots are now recognized and the RAM is back to its normal level.Thank you so much!!

Does the patch depot from VMware contain updates to the non-VMware components in the Cisco custom .iso file?

Migrating UCS SAN port channel to a new MDS - running into problems

Blade server will not recognize/enable new DIMMs

Unable to upload two firmware images to UCSM

Possible to use these B200-M4 memory sticks in B200-M3?

Hyperflex volumes almost full but almost no usage in the datastore in ESXi
