(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.

Subject: (External):Re: Storage Increment

Thank you all, your responses were exactly what I was looking for. 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.

Thanks again
