Deleting the shared memory pool
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.
The HMC Classic interface is not supported in Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available in the HMC Classic interface are now available in the HMC Enhanced+ interface.
For more information about managing shared memory pools when the HMC is at version 8.7.0, or later, see Managing shared memory pools.
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 .
- In the Pool Properties window, click Delete Memory Pool. is displayed.
- In the Delete Memory Pool window, click OK to delete the shared memory pool.
