You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
change the memory and processor resources on the management partition.
About this task
To change the memory and processor resources on the management
partition, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- In the navigation area, select View/Modify Partitions under Partition
Management. The View/Modify Partitions
page is displayed.
- Select the management partition (partition ID
1).
- From the Tasks menu, click Properties. The Partition Properties panel is displayed.
- Select the Memory tab to display
the memory settings.
- 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.
- Select the Processing tab to display
the processing settings. Keep the default settings
unless you are using a workload-management application.
- 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.
