5.5.5 Active Memory Expansion (AME)

Active Memory Expansion is the ability to expand the memory available to an AIX virtual
server beyond the amount of assigned physical memory. AME compresses memory pages
using processor capacity to provide additional memory capacity for a virtual server.
Figure 5-31 show how to select this option during the creation of a virtual server.

systems for enabled virtual servers.
