You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to change the primary and secondary Virtual I/O Server logical partitions (hereafter referred to as paging VIOS partitions) that are assigned to a logical partition that uses shared memory. You can also add or remove a secondary paging VIOS partition to or from a logical partition that uses shared memory (hereafter referred to as a shared memory partition).
