1. In the Basic Soft Partition screen (Figure 9–20), click the Add... button.
The Add/Modify Soft Partition screen displays (Figure 9–21). If this is the
first soft partition in the hard partition, the QBB that contains the hard
partition's console is listed in the block labeled Resources assigned to this
partition. This QBB must be in the first soft partition; CAPM will not allow
you to remove it.
2. Do one of the following in the Add/Modify Soft Partition screen:
If no other QBBs are to be added to this soft partition, click OK; or
Add another QBB to this soft partition by clicking on the QBB in the
box labeled Hard partition resources and clicking the Add button.
Continue doing this until you have added all the QBBs that belong in
this soft partition. Click OK; or
Remove a QBB from the soft partition by clicking on the QBB in the
box labeled Resources assigned to this partition and clicking the
Remove button. Click OK.
3. The Basic Soft Partition screen returns, showing the soft partitions that
have been configured. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to add other soft partitions.
4. Designate the amount of shared memory and its allocation:
a. In the Basic Soft Partition screen, move the slider until the amount of
memory to be shared is displayed in the line above the slider. Memory
is allocated in 64 MB blocks, so the amount shown is a multiple of 64.
b. Select the checkbox labeled Allocate shared memory equally among
QBBs to take an equal (or nearly equal) amount of memory from each
QBB in the hard partition for the shared memory.
