PHKL_31993, PHKL_31995, and PHKL_32061. Install all these patches at
the same time. For patch descriptions, see “HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) patches”

Unable to get CPU entitlement due to number of processes
Issue
PRM provides a PRM group its entitlement on an SMP system by granting
the group its entitlement on each CPU. If the group does not have at least
one process for each CPU, PRM increases the entitlements for the processes
to compensate. For example, for a PRM group with a single-threaded
process, a 10% entitlement of four CPUs results in a 40% entitlement on one
CPU.
Assume this same PRM group were allocated 50% of the four CPUs. PRM
would give the group an entitlement of 100% on two CPUs. However,
because the group has only the one thread, it can use only one CPU,
resulting in a 25% entitlement.
Workaround
There is no workaround. However, be aware of how your applications run so
that you do not give them resource entitlements they cannot use.
