"fixing" memory error

Hi there,

we've got a machine here which hasn't seen OMSA for a long time. Three
years ago, a multibit ECC fault was detected (we had a broken DIMM
then). We replaced the DIMM and haven't had any problem since then.
Recently, the machine got a new OS and we installed OMSA on it. Now the
error shows up:

xxxxxx:~ # omreport chassis memory
Memory Information

Health : Critical
[...]
Details of Memory Array 1
Index          : 0
Status         : Critical
Connector Name : DIMM A
Type           : DDR-SYNCHRONOUS
Size           : 1024  MB

How do we clear the error condition? Do we need to power down, swap the
DIMM, power on for the BIOS to notice, power off, swap back? Or is there
an easier way (couldn't find one with omconfig)?

Thanks,

Tino.
