6. Set the relative and maximum bandwidth (between 0-100 percent) as
needed for each partition.
 The relative bandwidth setting guarantees that at least this much
bandwidth is available to the partition.
 The cumulative relative bandwidth settings per port
(partitions 1–4) must not exceed 100 percent.
 This is software enforced.
 The maximum bandwidth setting enforces a bandwidth ceiling over
which the partition cannot subscribe.
 The adapter supports oversubscription.
 Oversubscription allows for the sum total of the maximum
bandwidth settings to equal greater than 100 percent of the total
available bandwidth of the port.
