Determining available memory on the destination server

This procedure provides step-by-step instructions that explain how to determine the available memory on the destination server and allocate more memory if necessary.

1. Determine how much memory the mobile partition requires:
   1. In the navigation area, open Systems Management and select Servers.
   2. Select the managed server of your choice in the navigation area.
   3. In the contents area, select the partition of your choice.
   4. Select Properties and select the Hardware tab and the Memory tab.
   5. View the Memory section and record the minimum, maximum, and assigned memory settings.
   6. Click OK
2. Determine the memory available on the destination server:
   1. In the navigation area, select Systems Management and select Servers.
   2. Select the managed server of your choice in the navigation area.
   3. Select Properties and the Memory tab.
   4. Record the Current memory available for partition usage (MB) .
   5. Click OK.
3. Compare the values from steps 1 and 2.
   • If the destination server has enough available memory to support the mobile partition, then skip the rest of this procedure and continue Preparing the source and destination servers for partition mobility.
   • If the destination server does not have enough available memory to support the mobile partition, use the HMC to dynamically remove memory from the logical partition or you can remove memory from partitions on the destination to free up memory there.
