When Cell 3 is unassigned from the partition, the number of intended active cores is changed
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 there are (unused) usage rights available for one additional core for the complex.
NOTE: If your intent is 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 are freeing up core usage
rights for the entire complex.
