No idea how to do it if you only have the default profile with 'all resources'.

I think this is more along the right path to correcting it. In the HMC I can see the 8GB, but I don't know how to assign it to an already configured profile.

Hello,

I know you mentioned you tried different slots already, but did you try all combinations? Also, does the BIOS see the entire memory??

Once I had a customer's server which physically had 8GB RAM installed but only showed 4GB. The slots were labeled

1A
1B

2A
2B

3A
3B

4A
4B

and memory was installed in 1A, 1B & 2A, 2B
I moved the memory to

1A 1B with 3A 3B got the entire memory to show up...

Hope this helps

Hi,

find your system profile on your hmc - under your managed frame you should see your lpar called server1 and below this the defined system profile(s) - right mouseclick on this active profile and than properties - choose the tab for memory and add the 4 additional GB to your max and desired memory values - and confirm

When I go to this section, there's no option for me to add. It just says Installed Memory 8GB, configurable Memory 7123, Assigned memory 3808. In this tap there's no option to assign the reset of the memory.

What next?

hmmm

if you cannot re-assign the memory you still can define another profile, put all the resources and memory in there, shutdown the lpar and boot the new one.
Since the disks and everything are the same you don't need to reconfigure anything.
Please keep in mind that your frame needs a bit of memory, so dont assign all the memory you have ... if you have to much assigned, your lpar will not boot but the error message will tell you how much memory you could assign to your lpar.
