OK Smart guy, explain this then: ================== Work with Shared Pools System: FRANKIE Main storage size (M) . : 2997.40 ==================8x256MB Cards and 8x128MB Cards adds up to 3096MB Memory but JUUUUUST a fuzz under 100MB has gone missing. It ain't the FSP taking it either as Frankie is a 170!
Actually on i5's you and Bryan are correct. The FSP takes memory whether you have 1 partition or many.
It appears that V5R3 does abscond with some memory for it's own use, however even V5R2 did this to a lessor extent:
================== Work with Shared Pools System: LILY Main storage size (M) . : 1013.34 ================== Lily is a V5R2 170 with 8x128MB for 1024MB Total. - Larry kirkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:
Bryan has it right. The i5's FSP ( Flexible Service Processor ) is using the missing memory. How will depend on the HW you have and things like Virtual Ethernet ports etc. You can get a guesstimate by using the LPAR Validation Tool (LVT). You can tell it just "1" LPAR if you want._____________________ Kirk Goins CCNA Systems Engineer, Manage Inc.
