We had an issue last week where we needed to add memory to one of our LPARs on the fly. We keep some memory marked reconfigurable but we've never had to use it before. We found out that we had to configure all our reconfigurable storage that the LPAR in question knew about online in order to get any of it online because you can only configure elements apparently.
That's not the issue. My issue with IBM is that when I went into the System Commands book to try and research why we had to do it this way and what our alternatives were I discovered that the section on Central Storage reconfiguration has not been updated since ES9000 days. Since the book talks about how up to 64M of memory is broken up and since I was complaining because my machine wanted to vary memory on or off in 128M chunks (awfully small when you're talking about 50G) this isn't very helpful. My question is what is the best way to call IBM's attention to this? The reader comment form in the back of the book is something to be mailed in. I don't think that will get very far or very fast. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to call IBM's attention to this issue?
