Requirements for relocating NVDIMMs or a set of NVDIMMs when the data must be preservedRequirements for relocating NVDIMMs or a set of NVDIMMs when the data must be preserved
The destination compute module hardware must match the original compute module hardware configuration.
All System Utilities settings in the destination compute module must match the original System Utilities settings in the original
compute module.
If NVDIMM-Ns are used with NVDIMM Interleaving ON mode in the original compute module, do the following:
Install the NVDIMMs in the same DIMM slots in the destination compute module.
Install the entire NVDIMM set (all the NVDIMM-Ns on the processor) on the destination compute module.
This guideline would apply when replacing a system board due to system failure.
If any of the requirements cannot be met during NVDIMM relocation, do the following:
Manually back up the NVDIMM-N data before relocating NVDIMM-Ns to another compute module.
Relocate the NVDIMM-Ns to another compute module.
Sanitize all NVDIMM-Ns on the new compute module before using them.

If data on the NVDIMM-N or set of NVDIMM-Ns does not have to be preserved, then
Move the NVDIMM-Ns to the new location and sanitize all NVDIMM-Ns after installing them to the new location. For more
information, see NVDIMM sanitization.
Observe all DIMM and NVDIMM population guidelines. For more information, see DIMM and NVDIMM population information.
Observe the process for removing an NVDIMM.
Observe the process for installing an NVDIMM.
Review and configure the system settings for NVDIMMs. For more information, see Configuring the compute module for NVDIMMs .
