Ok, thanks for the information. I will plan the memory on the guests accordingly.

For example, if you have user LINUX and want to have 512MB with the chance to go up to 2G, then you add the 2G as max memory on the USER directory statement: USER LINUX PASWD 512M 2048M G 64 Then add the following statement to the user directory to define the remaining memory as standby: COMMAND DEFINE STORAGE AS 512M STANDBY 1536M If you set up the user like this, then from inside the Linux guest you can add memory at run time with the chmem command. For example, to add extra 512 M run: chmem -e 512M Note that it is not always possible to return the standby memory that you have once allocated without re-ipling the guest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
