RE: New lpar getting B2006006 LP=005

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Having a devil of a time with this memory calculation.  Silly me thought 
that removing a GB of memory from one lpar would then make it available to 
the new lpar.
So, if I have
Installed memory: 32768 MB
minus
System firmware current memory: 2944 MB
I get
Current memory available for partition usage : 29824 MB
So if I subtract these from that:
MAILTWO 9984
GDIHQ2 11264
GDISYS2 5120
HQLINUX2 2048
I get 1408 left, right?  Well, that doesn't seem to match
Available memory: 384 MB

I stole another GB from GDIHQ2 and now that screen says available memory 
1408MB, while the screen that shows summary by machine (not lpar) shows an 
available memory of 2,432MB.
Still get the B2006006.
