Removing Memory

If a domain is active, you can use the ldm remove-memory command to dynamically remove memory from the domain. The ldm set-memory command can also dynamically remove memory if the specified memory size is smaller than the current memory size of the domain.

Memory removal can be a long-running operation. You can track the progress of an ldm remove-memory command by running the ldm list -l command for the specified domain.

You can cancel a removal request that is in progress by interrupting the ldm remove-memory command (by pressing Control-C) or by issuing the ldm cancel-operation memdr command. If you cancel a memory removal request, only the outstanding portion of the removal request is affected; namely, the amount of memory still to be removed from the domain.
