Managing the shared memory pool
By using the Hardware Management Console (HMC ), you can change the configuration of the shared memory pool.
For example, you can change the amount of physical memory assigned to the shared memory pool, change
the Virtual I/O Server logical partitions that are assigned to
the shared memory pool, and add or remove paging space devices to or from the shared memory pool.
The shared memory pool is not supported on Power10
processor-based servers.

The shared memory pool is not supported on Power10 processor-based servers.Reinstalling the Virtual I/O Server of a paging VIOS partition Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) that is assigned to the shared memory pool (hereafter referred to as a paging VIOS partition ), you need to reconfigure the shared memory environment. For example, you might need to add the paging space devices again to the shared memory pool.
