Hi,

I have two linux guests on two different Z990 LPARs.
z/VM Version 4 Release 3.0, Service Level 0202 (64-bit)
Linux version: SLES8 - 2.4.21-83-default #1 SMP
Java version (WebSphere): J2RE 1.3.1 IBM build cx390131-20041210 (JIT 
enabled: jitc)

Both guests are virtually the same.  The only difference I can think of is 
memory has been originally set at 2GB on one and increased to 2GB on the 
other one at a later time.

Setting the maximum size of the java heap to 1024MB is successful on the 
first guest:

    /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre/bin> ./java -verbose:gc -Xmx1024M 
-version
    <GC: Reduced max java heap size to 914247680 bytes due to memory 
contraints>
    java version "1.3.1"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1)
    Classic VM (build 1.3.1, J2RE 1.3.1 IBM build cx390131-20041210 (JIT 
enabled: jitc))

... while on the other one, I get a JVM panic error:

    /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre/bin> ./java -verbose:gc -Xmx1024M 
-version
    <GC: Reduced max java heap size to 1063006208 bytes due to memory 
contraints>
    **Out of memory, aborting**
 
    *** panic: JVMST018: Cannot allocate memory for 
initializeMarkAndAllocBits(allocbits1)
    Aborted


Any hints on what needs to be fixed so that I can allocate equivalent 
virtual storage to the JVM region on both servers?
