I need to increase the memory of one of my lpars.
First I went into that lpar's profile and updated the amount of memory for the increase.
Next I rebooted the lpar and wen it came back on line it was still ar the origional settings.

Please advise.

Hi,

Are u allocating the free memory or moving some memory from one lpar to other. if so shutdown the lpar the one has memory. reduce the memory size as required and activate to sms menu. Then activate lpar the one which you added additional memory.

Hope this will works or provide more information about the problem.

Regards
Sugu

So yor saying after I increase the lpar profile, i must boot in sms menu for the memory to be seen.

Because before I increases and rebood the lpar and nothing changed. so the sms menu commits the change ?

If you have made a change to the lpar profile, you need to shutdown and then re-activate the lpar using the edited profile in oder to pick up the changes. A normal partition reboot wont pick up the new profile settings.

[rbinkley]

the edited profile is the default profile.

[dial8d]

you still need to shutdown the lpar and then activate the edited default profile to pick up changes.

if you just do a shutdown -Fr at the OS, it will not pick up the changes to the default profile.

i think this increase is in the maximun not desired.
next time try the dynamic incresae by LPAR not profile

I think dial8d's responce is correct, if you rebooted (shutdown -Fr) it won't pick up the new profile, you need to shutdown, then activate the LPAR from the HMC for it to re-read the profile and pick up the new memory.

Almost definate that the problem is the way the LPAR has been stopped and started. In order to pick up the new profile you will need to stop the LPAR and then activate it again from te HMC.

Alternatively - if you haven't changed the Maximum Memory setting you can dynamicaly add the memory without needing to reboot anything.
