Alan, When you add up all of the RESERVE memory for all LPARS does it need to add up to or below the amount of available unused memory or can each LPAR be defined the max amount of memory that is available and unused?

You need to change the LPAR image profile to have some amount of storage defined as "reserved". If you don't do that, the LPAR can't see the unused memory on the box. So make that change, then repeat the deactivation/reactivation sequence. Note that you can set the "Reserved" value to a maximum value, even if all that memory isn't on the box. Then you can specify how much of that "reserved" memory CP will bring online.
