For vpar1, which is live (UP state), the memory range 0x40000000/512 has been explicitly bound
by the user and the memory ranges 0x20000000/512 and 0x70080000000/1024 have been
bound by the monitor. For vpar2, which is down, memory ranges 0x4080000000/512 and
0x74080000000/512 have been explicitly bound by the user. Hence, adding up the size of all
bound memory ranges, the total memory bound to partition is 3072 MB. Running the command
vparstatus –A to find the memory ranges not yet bound results in the following output.
[Available ILM (Base /Range)]: 0x60000000/511
(bytes) (MB) 0x40a0000000/1536
[Available ILM (MB)]: 1535
[Available CLM (CellID Base /Range)]: 0 0x700c0000000/512
(bytes) (MB) 0 0x700e0000000/440
2 0x740a0000000/1024
2 0x740e0000000/448
[Available CLM (CellID MB)]: 0 952
2 960
Adding up the size of all the ILM and CLM memory ranges, the total memory not yet bound to any
partition is 4471 MB. Running the command vparstatus -m to find the memory ranges taken by
vPar monitor and firmware results in the following output.
Memory ranges used: 0x0/349519872 monitor
0x14d54000/434176 firmware
0x14dbe000/532480 monitor
0x14e40000/253952 firmware
0x14e7e000/1425408 monitor
0x14fda000/50487296 firmware
0x18000000/134213632 monitor
0x7fffe000/8192 firmware
0x700fc000000/67108864 firmware
0x740fc000000/67108864 firmware
Adding up the size in bytes of all the memory ranges and converting it into megabytes results in 640
MB. Adding up the memory bound to partition, memory not yet bound to any partition, and memory
used by monitor and firmware yields 8183 MB, which is close to the 8192 MB physical memory in
the system. Hence, not all memory installed in the system can be accounted using vPars command
output as some memory used by hardware or firmware is not reported in the output. For this setup the
