cpu1:4156 WARNING: PageRetire: 659: Number of user private MPNs selected for retirement is 1

[Mitologa1010]

Hello All, I am starting to see some MPN warnings in my vmkwarning.log on one of my hosts. Has anyone else experienced these; I am thinking it could translate into a bad memory chip or some hardware component.

Any help would great and many thanks in advance.

Hi,  I've got same problem and I am pleased to tell you to I've fixed this issue.

I operate 5 virtualization host servers (HP DL380p Gen8). 

In my case, one of the Host server's CPU has occurred. And also the logs like below have written in /var/log/vmkernel.log

As a result, it was a hardware problem. 

I've replaced 2 memories,  but the issue still occurred.  Then I replaced motherboard and processor.

Because the processor socket on the motherboard considered broken.

Then the issue has been resolved.

hello again,

we pinpointed the issue to a memory dimm that experienced lots of EccSinglebitErrors per day.

after replacing the memory we noticed no further issues.

greetings,

lukas
