    I've an p520 running AIX 5.3, without VIO, HMC or something. It's dedicated.

     

    The server has 4 dimm's of 2Gb:

     

    root-bbsa6:/>lscfg -vp |grep -p DIMM

          Memory DIMM:

            Record Name.................VINI

    But, just recognize only 4Gb:

    root-bbsa6:/>getconf REAL_MEMORY

    3833856

     

    I checked, and has this maximum set:

    root-bbsa6:/>lparstat -i | grep -i mem

    Online Memory                              : 3744 MB

    Maximum Memory                             : 4096 MB

    Minimum Memory                             : 128 MB

    Desired Memory                             : 3744 MB

     

    This maximum would be that limiting the overall recognition memory? If yes, could tell me if somehow we could change this value?

    Are you running a 32 bit kernel? If so then 4 Gb is the max.

    prtconf -k
