68 Logical Partitions on System i5
System Properties - Memory resources
The memory properties are shown in Figure 3-26. The available memory is the unassigned
memory that is available to allocate to partitions.The configureable memory is the total
amount of memory on the managed system.
The memory region size determines the smallest increments in which the memory can be
allocated to a partition. There is a minimum amount of memory that must be allocated to a
partition for it to be able to run, and this will be either 128 MB or 256 MB depending on the
value that has been set for the maximum memory to be used in a partition. Any increase in
the memory size over this minimum would be done in increments of 16 MB, if the memory
region size was 16 MB as shown in Figure 3-26. The bottom pane shows the amount of
memory allocated to each partition.
