Assigned memory

Displays the amount of memory that is currently assigned to the logical partition. This amount must be in the range defined by the Minimum memory and Maximum memory fields.

You can enter the size in a combination of gigabytes (GB) plus megabytes (MB). You cannot enter a number greater than 1024 into the MB field. If you want the logical partition to have 1024 MB or more of memory, divide the number of megabytes that you want the logical partition to have by 1024, enter the result into the GB field, and enter the remainder into the MB field.

For a dedicated memory partition, the following restrictions apply:

• You cannot specify an amount of memory that is not evenly divisible by the memory block size used on this managed system. The spin buttons on the MB field allow you to increase and decrease the amount in the MB field by the memory block size for the managed system.
• The amount of memory assigned to a dedicated memory partition cannot exceed the amount of available system memory.
