Add Memory to HPVM

We are getting additional memory for our host with two HP Virtual Machines. After installing the memory, how do I add/extend memory on the Virtual Machines?

Thanks,

Re: Add Memory to HPVM

With the hpvmmodify command (example change myvm01 to have 6GB of ram):

/opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmmodify -x ram_dyn_target_start=6G -P myvm01

man hpvmmodify

Re: Add Memory to HPVM

Just use hpvmmodify with "-r" and the new amount of memory.
Reboot the guest after this.

Hope this helps!

OK, version number matters.
Starting with v3 the guest can have dynamic memory.

Hope this helps!

BTW - you can also do this from the "web gui" Systems Insight Manager on your CMS.
