The information that is displayed by OMSA comes straight from BIOS. My initial guess is that the system that claims to support only 32G has an older BIOS than the one that claims 64G. Check your BIOS versions and upgrade if the 32G is older.

OK that gives me the generation number, and all my PE2950's are gen III. So why is one server advertising it can hold 64GB and another server advertising it can hold 32GB, both servers are gen III PE2950's. Anything else that could be causing this discrepancy ?
