The only way to add storage is to update the IMAGE profile for the LPAR and then shut down the LPAR. Be sure to DEACTIVATE (from the HMC) the LPAR and then IPL. If the memory isn't available the activate will fail. And coincidently in another thread Don Williams says: Use HMC to go to Single

John, The cpus defined as CF (specialty) engines ONLY run the CF code, so there is no gain to you SYSA/B/C/D lpars. Are you running a parallel sysplex? Also I think the GP engines are in one pool, and the CF engines in another so your weights aren't giving you the MIPs you think. Alan
