On Alpha and Integrity servers, adds an entry to the Reserved
Memory Registry data file. Changes and additions to the Reserved
Memory Registry data file do not take effect until the next
reboot of the system.
Use the RESERVED_MEMORY ADD command to reserve an amount of
physical memory that might be needed at a future time. Use the
/ALLOCATE qualifier to set aside one or more blocks of physical
memory during the boot process. Using the /ALLOCATE qualifier
allows memory to be sufficiently contiguous and aligned to be
used with granularity hints.
AUTOGEN processes the Reserved Memory Registry data file in its
GETDATA phase. AUTOGEN takes the size of all entries into account
when calculating system parameters that depend on the available
amount of physical memory.
AUTOGEN uses the reservation size of all entries to calculate
the initial size of the global page table unless the entry was
specified as /NOGLOBAL_SECTION.
For more information about the Reserved Memory Registry, refer
to the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual and the VSI OpenVMS
Programming Concepts Manual.
