Hi Matt, Couple of questions.
1. You mention your servers were intended as a sandbox. Does this mean you can shut down the intended server? 2. Does your z/VM LPAR have real memory to give? The easiest way to add more memory would be to shutdown the intended server, add more memory to the server's USER DIRECTORY on z/VM, and restart the server. There is a way to dynamically add more memory to a running server if you can't shut down the server and memory had already been set aside prior. The command 'q stor' on your z/VM system will show how much memory the LPAR has defined. Good luck Andrew Westerfield MS Department of Information Technology Services www.its.ms.gov -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dazzo, Matt Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2015 11:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Adding Memory Question We are running z/vm 6.0 with 2 RH 5.5 servers that was intended as a sand box for an application that never launched several years ago. We are now looking at testing an application that calls for 4GB memory to run. The intended server only has 1GB, pls see below. I am a newbie at best with vm / linux, what is the process to add 4GB of memory and how do I know if can?
