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 Object Operations. From there go to Storage Information in CPC Operational Customization. Depending on your processor model you might not have 16G available. HSA on z9 and earlier processors is taken from the total storage. Use the HMC to see how much available storage you have to play with. I think the max HSA on a z9 is 2.5G - that's how much I take out before allocating the rest to LPARs.
