Hello experts
I have a Esxi host that has permanent amber light on one of the memory dimms ,if I look in vsphere itself all the memory resources are still available on the hosts.
Should I assume the memory really has failed ? If so then Vcenter has not picked that up correctly .
I would therefore like to reseat the memory in the server ,is the best way forward to put the host in maintenance mode ,once this is done the guest machines will migrate off the host ,at this point I can turn off the host and check the memory .
Once i restart the host ,I will have to go back into Vcenter and take it out of maintenance mode ,at this point the guest machines will be placed back on the hosts.
Thanks very much ,please advise if this sounds correct .
Regards
Clint..
