This field displays the amount of memory that you want the logical partition to have when you activate the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile. If the memory mode of the logical partition is Dedicated, this field displays the amount of physical memory that you want the logical partition to have. If the memory mode of the logical partition is Shared, this field displays the amount of logical memory that you want the shared memory partition to have.
When you activate a logical partition that uses dedicated memory, if the managed system has at least this much uncommitted memory, the managed system commits this amount of memory to the logical partition. If the managed system does not have the desired memory amount available, but has at least the minimum memory amount available, the managed system activates the logical partition with the memory that is available.
When you activate a logical partition that uses shared memory, the managed system does not commit a memory amount to the logical partition. The memory for the logical partition is set to the desired memory.
Any change you make on this page takes effect only after you shut down and reactivate the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile.
You can change this value by making dynamic memory changes to the logical partition, however these changes are used only as long as the logical partition is active unless you also change the values in the partition profile.
