Memory: Allocation Concepts and Notes
• The unit for the specified size of memory for the vPars commands is megabytes; parmodify uses
gigabytes.
• The default memory assigned to a virtual partition is 0 MB, so you need to specify enough memory for
your applications and the operating system.
• (vPars A.03.xx and earlier) Memory is allocated in multiples of 64 MB. Any specified size that is not a
multiple of 64 MB is rounded up to the nearest 64 MB boundary. For example, if you specify 1 MB, 64 MB
will be allocated.
