If the managed system supports the PowerVM™ Active Memory Sharing technology
for using shared memory, you can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to manage shared
memory. You can increase or decrease the amount of physical memory
assigned to the shared memory pool. You can also manage the paging
space devices for the shared memory pool.
Use
any role other than View Only to perform this task. The
View Only role can view the properties, but it cannot modify them.
To manage the shared memory pool, complete the following
steps in the Integrated Virtualization Manager:
- From the navigation area, select View/Modify
Shared Memory Pool under Partition Management. The Memory tab of the View/Modify
System Properties page is displayed.
- Depending
on which properties you want to view and to modify,
select one of the following tabs:
- General to
view and modify the information
that identifies the managed system and system status. You also can view and modify the maximum number of
virtual resources for the Virtual I/O Server, which determines
the maximum number of logical partitions that the managed system can
support.
- Memory to view
and modify the memory
usage information for the managed system. If
the managed system supports the PowerVM Active Memory Sharing technology
for using shared memory, you also can view and change the shared memory
pool settings for the managed system.
- Processing to
view processor usage
information for the managed system.
