Terry, Do you have STANDBY memory defined in the virtual machines? There is a section, 26.2 Set up memory hotplugging" in "The Virtualization Cookbook for IBM z/VM 6.3, RHEL 6.4, and SLES 11 SP3" on the Web at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248147.html Hope it helps. -Mike M. On T

One way is to have standby memory defined. 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 def
