After installation the memtest+ tool will become available among other boot options. To install memtest+ on RHEL 7 Linux server execute the following linux command:

    # yum install memtest86+
    ...

      Installing : memtest86+-4.20-12.el7.x86_64      1/1 
      Verifying  : memtest86+-4.20-12.el7.x86_64      1/1 
    
    Installed:
      memtest86+.x86_64 0:4.20-12.el7
    

    Next, we will configure memtest86:

    # memtest-setup 
    grub2 detected, installing template...
    grub 2 template installed.
    Do not forget to regenerate your grub.cfg by:
      # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    Setup complete.
    

    As a last step and as per the above setup instructions above we execute:

    # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    ...
    Found memtest image: /boot/elf-memtest86+-4.20
    done
