The question was on the VM list. I may have mistaken it for a question
about VM, not Linux ;-)

Subject: Re: ADD VIRTUAL MEMORY DYNAMICALLY
Depends on what the OP means by "virtual memory". If he means
more VM "real" (to the guest), then you're correct. But if he needs more
Linux paging memory, then a VDISK, mkswap, swapon should help.

No. Redefining virtual memory causes a virtual system
reset. It takes an IPl after that. You can update the directory to allow
additional, but you cannot redefine the virtual storage of a running
machine without causing the reset.

Hi
I have a Linux server running now that is in
need of more VIRTUAL MEMEORY. Is there a way that I can dynamically
allocate more memory to this guest without bring it down?
Thank You,
