Deleting the shared memory pool using the HMC

If you no longer want any of the logical partitions to use shared memory, you can delete the shared memory pool by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

Before you start, remove all of the logical partitions that use shared memory (hereafter referred to as shared memory partitions) from the shared memory pool by completing one of the following tasks:

Delete all of the shared memory partitions. For instructions, see Deleting a logical partition
Change all of the shared memory partitions to dedicated memory partitions. For instructions, see Changing the memory mode of a logical partition.

To delete the shared memory pool, complete the following steps from the HMC:

In the navigation pane, expand Systems Management and click Servers.
In the work pane, select the server from which you want to delete the shared memory pool.
From the Tasks menu, click Configuration > Virtual Resources > Shared Memory Pool Management. The Pool Properties window is displayed.
Click Delete Memory Pool. The Delete Memory Pool window is displayed.
Click OK to delete the shared memory pool.
