Adjusting memory and processing resources

Understand why and how to adjust memory and processing resources. Adjusting those resources can help you adjust to changing workloads.

If your target server or partition has already been set up and you realize there is inadequate processor or memory, you can adjust these without having to re-create the partition. If the target server has fewer processors than the source server, you must adjust the configuration on the source server to reflect the target server's processing resources. If the target server has less memory than the source server, you can adjust the minimum memory values per logical partition.
