Re: Add Storage To Lpar - z/800

Our DBA has been looking at increasing several of the buffer pools. I know he said that buffer/cache hits was in the 60% range on Monday. He did 2 rounds of tuning, including bouncing the DB2 region last night. DB2 is shut down usually only on the weekend with our weekly IPL. The problem we

Standard plea to customers: Find out how much memory you actually have on each machine and ensure you deploy the right portions of that as reserved to the right LPARs. (This is not the only situation this quarter where a customer was forced to IPL to add memory out of idle to an LPAR.) And stan

Thanks to all that replied. I'll only reply to this answer to avoid cluttering up the list. I suspected that I probably couldn't add any storage to this Lpar without at least an IPL. Both of LP01 and LP02 have 2 GB defined for real storage, and 1GB in reserve. I believe the 1GB in reserve g

Add Storage To Lpar - z/800

2008-11-25 Thread Eric Bielefeld
Can real storage be added to an Lpar on a z/800 without shutting down the Lpar and re-IPLing? We have 4 Lpars defined, only two of them running now. Both Lpars have 3G of memory. I think the 2 Lpars that aren't running have .5G each. I know we have a little less than 1G that is free and unas
