Devoxx 2011 - Day 2

On the second the rest of the ConSol posse joined us : Christoph, Christian and Torsten arrived for the fireside chat. A session format which lacked a bit the tension, but there were some rare highlights like the following joke: Q: “What’s the difference between Ant and Maven ?”, A: “The author of Ant apologized”. The other stuff covered were the ServiceMix combo, Groovy, Spring in the cloud, Infinispan, JDK 7 and Jenkins for Continous Delivery.

During evaluation of the migration of a customer’s Nagios installation to the Shinken monitoring system, i encountered a strange problem.

Während des Bootens von Proliant-Servern wird eine umfangreiche Prüfung der verbauten Speichermodule durchgeführt. Entdeckt das Bios dabei Ungereimtheiten oder schadhafte DIMMs, so werden diese auskonfiguriert und der Bootvorgang fortgesetzt. Ob dies bei einem Server vorgekommen ist, zeigt ein Blick ins Integrated Management Log. Dort erscheint dann folgende Meldung:

Event: 26 Added: 03/08/2011 21:01
  CAUTION: POST Messages - POST Error: 207-Memory initialization error on Processor 1 DIMM 6. The operating system may not have access to all of the memory installed in the system..
