(I had forgotten about the role of total installed memory.) If you have two processors side by side with different increment sizes, remember that one box allows you to be more granular than the other. It's not a bad thing as long as you don't calculate an 'optimal size' that only one box can achieve precisely. I've had this situation in the past. I remember this having more importance for CF LPARs. OTOH we are typically lavished with far more memory these days then we once had, so sizing issues are minimal.

I did parse the technical guide but was looking for 'storage increment size'. You have shown me that I need to take a much closer look at the manual. FYI, we will have 2 processors with 256G and the other with 128G. So, according to the manual, the increment sizes will be 1G and 512M respectively.
