<h1 class="topictitle1">Determine the amount of memory to move</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Primary partitions need a minimum of 256 MB of memory. </p>
|
|
<p>The minimum memory of V5R1 and V5R2 secondary partitions is 128 MB. V4R4
|
|
and V4R5 secondary partitions minimum memory requirement remains 64 MB. Depending
|
|
on the number of secondary partitions on the server, the primary partition
|
|
may need more memory to successfully manage the partitions on the server.</p>
|
|
<p>To dynamically move memory, you have to establish a minimum and maximum
|
|
range within which you can move the resource without needing to restart the
|
|
logical partition. Changing the maximum value requires a system restart. Changing
|
|
the minimum value only requires you to restart the partition. Due to performance
|
|
reasons, you are recommended to specify the maximum value that is close to
|
|
the amount of memory the partition will use on a regular basis. By specifying
|
|
a maximum value higher than what is needed for the partition, you waste valuable
|
|
memory resources. Minimum values dictate what is required to restart the partition.
|
|
If the minimum value is not met for all logical partitions, only the primary
|
|
will restart. You can specify a memory minimum value as low as 0. A value
|
|
of 0 in any partition creates a non-functioning partition. If the primary
|
|
partition has been restarted (a system restart) after the secondary partition
|
|
was set to 0, then another system restart is required when the secondary memory
|
|
value is changed. If the changes are made to the memory within the same primary
|
|
restart, then a system restart is not required to make changes to the memory
|
|
allocations.</p>
|
|
<p>The full amount of memory that you assign to a logical partition may not
|
|
be available for the partition's use. Static memory overhead required to support
|
|
the assigned maximum memory will affect the reserved or hidden memory amount.
|
|
This static memory overhead will also influence the minimum memory size of
|
|
a partition.</p>
|
|
<p>When you dynamically remove memory from a logical partition, the currently
|
|
allocated amount may not be reduced to the new value you have specified until
|
|
you restart the partition. This is dependent upon factors in the running operating
|
|
system in that partition. Runtime values are based on memory the partition
|
|
needs to complete an assigned task.</p>
