Super 1st Gen. DCPMM Memory for X11OPx/X11QPx/X11DPx/X11SPx Motherboards Guide

Provisioning

During provisioning process, a 

goal

 is specified and configured into Memory Mode, App 

Direct Mode, or both(Mixed Mode). This goal will be applied after the system has been reset.

Memory Mode Configuration

Use the 

ipmctl create -goal MemoryMode=n

 command to provision any percentage of 

DCPMM capacity on all sockets, where 

n

 represents the percentage number of capacity 

to be provisioned in Memory Mode. A reboot is required to process new memory allocation 

goals

.
