Available pool memory

Indicates the amount of physical memory in the shared memory pool that is available for shared memory partitions.

This is the amount of physical system memory that is available after subtracting the amount of memory that the server firmware uses to manage the shared memory pool and the total amount of I/O entitled memory of the shared memory partitions.

The available pool memory must be greater than the I/O entitled memory for a shared memory partition or the shared memory partition cannot be activated.
