z/VM definitely still uses expanded storage.

I thought the need for expanded storage was being eliminated. Is that in
5.2 or a later release?

If the LPAR running the VSEs still needs 4G, allocate it to the LPAR,
leave the rest for the Linux LPAR. If the VSE LPAR can get by with
less, absolutely steal it for the Linux LPAR (it will need it). Don't
forget to set aside some for expanded on each LPAR.

We recently upgraded our CPU from an MP3000 to an 8G z/890 machine. The
configuration is 2 LPARS running z/VM 5.1 on both sides. One side runs
multiple VSEs, and the other runs multiple Linux S/390. Now the
question is, since z/VM only supports up to 2G central storage,
what/how can I make use of the extra 4G memory?
