Changing memory and processor resources on the management partition

You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to change the memory and processor resources on the management partition.

1. In the navigation area, select View/Modify Partitions under Partition Management. The View/Modify Partitions page is displayed.
2. Select the management partition (partition ID 1).
3. From the Tasks menu, click Properties. The Partition Properties panel is displayed.
4. Select the Memory tab to display the memory settings.
5. Change the minimum, assigned, and maximum pending amounts of memory to the amount of memory that you want the management partition to use. If you are using a workload-management application, you can set the minimum and maximum amounts for the management partition. The assigned amount is the amount of memory that the management partition has initially assigned to it. If you do not anticipate dynamically increasing the memory beyond a certain point, setting the appropriate maximum value can save on reserved firmware memory.
   Note: The management partition must use dedicated memory.
6. Select the Processing tab to display the processing settings. Keep the default settings unless you are using a workload-management application.
7. Click OK to apply the changes. It might take a few minutes for the managed system to apply the changes. If you changed a minimum or maximum value, restart the system for the changes to take effect.
