Memory: Assigning by Size (ILM)
Syntax
Examples
Assigning memory by specifying only size uses ILM memory. ILM memory is the only type of
memory used in vPars A.03.xx and earlier. vPars A.04.xx and later can use either ILM or CLM
memory.
The basic syntax for adding or deleting ILM resources assigned to a virtual partition is:
-[a|d] mem::size
where:
-a is adding
-d is deleting
size is the quantity of ILM in MBs
• To create the virtual partition winona2 with 1024 MB of ILM:
winona1# vparcreate -p winona2 -a mem::1024
• To add 1024 MB of ILM to an existing partition winona2:
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -a mem::1024
• To decrease the amount of ILM assigned to partition winona2 by 1024 MB:
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -d mem::1024
NOTE: Although not an error, the size of ILM assigned should be a multiple of the granularity
value. See also “Memory: Assigning by Size (CLM)” (page 223).
Memory: Assigning by Size (CLM)
Before assigning CLM, see the section on configuring CLM: “Configuring CLM for an nPartition”
(page 276). Once CLM is configured, you can assign an amount of CLM to a virtual partition,
The syntax to assign an amount of CLM is:
-a|d cell:cell_ID:mem::size
where:
-a is adding
-d is deleting
cell_ID is the cell number
size is the quantity of memory in MBs
Example
• To add 1024 MB of memory from cell 6 (at least 1024 MB must already be configured as
CLM) to the existing partition keira2:
keira1# vparmodify -p keira2 -a cell:6:mem::1024
• You can set both ILM and CLM memory on the same partition. To assign 1024 MB of available
CLM and 1024 MB of available ILM to keira2:
keira1# vparmodify -p keira2 -a cell:6:mem::1024 -a mem::1024
