[Bug 1752440] Re: Lshw incorrectly detects amount of RAM in system

[Andres Rodriguez]

Are you using a mirror ? That could be due to a mirror not up to date with
the Ubuntu images but I wouldn’t be sure without a full log.

Title:
  Lshw incorrectly detects amount of RAM in system

Status in MAAS:
  Triaged
Status in lshw package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When commissioning our new servers, we are only seeing 50% of the
  memory show up in the MaasUI. Looking at lshw, it looks like only 12
  of the 24 DIMMs are listed (we see 384GB but we have 768GB).
  Everything else seems to be fine, number of cores, disks, etc... When
  running free on the machine, we get the expected amount of RAM (768GB)

  Current:
  384GB

  Expecting
  768GB
