Memory: Assigning By Size (ILM)
Assigning memory by specifying only size uses ILM memory. ILM memory is the only type of memory used in
vPars A.03.xx and earlier. vPars A.04.xx and later can use either ILM and CLM memory.
Syntax
The basic syntax for adding or decreasing ILM resources assigned to a virtual partition is
-[a|d] mem::
size
where
a is adding
d is decreasing
size is the quantity of ILM in MBs
Examples
• To create the virtual partition winona2 with 1024 MB of ILM:
winona1# vparcreate -p winona2 -a mem::1024
• To add 1024 MB of ILM to an existing partition winona2:
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -a mem::1024
• To decrease the amount of ILM assigned to partition winona2 by 1024 MB:
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -d mem::1024
NOTE Although not an error, the size of ILM assigned should be a multiple of the granularity value.
