Commands
3.3 assign memory
Assigns a portion of the hard partition’s physical memory to a subpartition. Explicitly assigning
memory to a hard partition is unnecessary because the RIMM population associated with each
CPU determines the partition's memory size.
Users cannot assign memory to the Free_Pool.
The smallest memory chunk allowed is 8MB.
To deassign memory, specify 0MB as the memory size.
Syntax
assign memory <memory_size> -hp <hard_partition>
{-sp <sub_partition>, -com}
Arguments
<memory_size> The memory size in units of GB or MB; must be
multiples of 8MB.
-hp <hard_partition> Hard partition name.
-sp <sub_partition> Subpartition name.
-com Assign the memory to community memory, accessible to
all subpartition within the hard partition.
Options
None
