Predictive Self Healing

Yesterday system which is E6500 with Solaris 10 reported few times memory errors (ECC corrected) on a board 0 dimm J3300.

As these errors happened few more times system finally removed single page (8kB) from a system memory so problem will not escalate and won't possibly kill system or application. Well, I can live with 8kB less memory - that's real Predictive Self Healing.
