z/VM memory Limit under z/VM 6.1
Hi I know that the maximum amount of memory that is supported on a z/VM 5.4 LPAR is 250G. Does this limit change under z/VM 6.1, that is, does IBM support a bigger memory foot print for the a z/VM LPAR under 6.1?

Re: z/VM memory Limit under z/VM 6.1
Thanks Alan, meant to say 256G. We actually ran into this and I had to split the LPAR. I was hoping that the support for more memory on a z/VM LPAR would increase with version 6, and plans for 6.2?
