Re: Memory and Partitions

There is overhead when you create LPARs, the hypervisor has to map out the
memory for each LPAR. The 2GB RAM for overhead is normal.

Admins,

I am running two P570's managed by the HMC. Each physical box has 32Gig of
ram installed. Each box has two Partitions setup (HNAA and HNAB) the same
on both for HACMP failover. I just noticed that each physical box has only
30Gig allocated for instance HNAA has 14336 and HNAB has 16384. I did not
set up these configurations but I was wondering if there needs to be a
overhead or memory usage for anything else? My whole concern is where is
the other 2gig being used or not used on the physical boxes?

Thanks
Larry
