This page displays the memory management information for this partition profile, including whether the memory mode is dedicated or shared, and the values for the minimum, desired, and maximum memory. For shared memory mode, it also displays the variable memory weight and the primary and secondary paging VIOS partitions. This information also includes the range of memory amounts that you can dynamically allocate to the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile without having to reactivate the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile.
If the partition profile is for an AIX or Linux dedicated memory partition, and the managed system supports huge page memory, this page also displays huge page memory information for the partition profile. When the managed system supports huge page memory, you can allocate a portion of the total memory on the managed system to huge page memory. Huge page memory can then be assigned to AIX or Linux partitions for use by applications that are designed to use huge page memory. This page allows you to specify the minimum, desired, and maximum number of pages of huge page memory for the partition profile.
You can switch the profile from a shared memory partition to a dedicated memory partition. If the processor mode is shared, you can switch the profile from a dedicated memory partition to a shared memory partition.
You can change the profile settings for a partition by selecting the partition and selecting Configuration Tasks > Manage Profiles.
