Abstract

An aspect includes identifying a repaired memory array element in a memory array, and identifying memory array elements in the memory array that are adjacent to the repaired memory array element. A group that includes the repaired and adjacent memory array elements is formed and monitored for error conditions. It is determined whether a number of the error conditions exceeds a threshold. A repair action is performed to the memory array based on determining that the number of error conditions exceeds the threshold.
