When Cell 3 is unassigned from the partition, the number of intended active cores changes from
9 to 8 (because 8 is the total number of cores remaining in the partition). When the partition is
rebooted, a total of 8 cores are activated. Cell 3 becomes an unassigned cell with 4 inactive cores,
and (unused) usage rights are available for 1 additional core for the complex.
NOTE: If you intend to migrate a cell from one partition to another, you can control the number
of core usage rights available to the cell (in the new partition) by deactivating cores in the partition
you removed the cell from. By deactivating cores, you make core usage rights available to the
entire complex.
