You need to change the LPAR image profile to have some amount of storage defined as "reserved". If you don't do that, the LPAR can't see the unused memory on the box. So make that change, then repeat the deactivation/reactivation sequence. Note that you can set the "Reserved" value to a maximum value, even if all that memory isn't on the box. Then you can specify how much of that "reserved" memory CP will bring online.
