You might try 'WAKEUP RESET' just before you do the 'WAKEUP +0 (IUCVMSG' (You didn't say, but assuming you tried this and it worked?). You should also end your routine with WAKEUP RESET (just before you restore msg values - RESET does a SET MSG ON, which may not be what it was). It's not clear

No.. If you define the LPAR reserved at 8 GB, then the standby+reserved will only show 8 GB. In other words, 8 GB is the maximum amount you can dynamically add to this LPAR. Standby storage is memory that is available on your box that is currently not assigned to any LPAR. It can change if LPAR
