HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.07) (5900-1229, September 2010)

NOTE: Assigning ILM or CLM memory by size only reserves the amount of physical memory
the virtual partition gets. The exact physical ranges of memory the virtual partition gets is decided
by the vPars Monitor when the virtual partition boots. The vPars Monitor will attempt to pick
the memory ranges such that the sum of the ranges add up to the amount of ILM and CLM
reserved for the partition. However, due to memory fragmentation, which occurs due to memory
already taken by the vPars Monitor, firmware, or bad pages, the sum of the ranges picked by
the vPars Monitor may be slightly less than or more than the specified amount reserved for the
partition.
