Table III. Detailed Resource Specifications (continued)
Task: -a cpu:::[min][
:[max]]
Explanation Specifies the minimum and maximum number of
CPUs allowed for the vPar. This operation
does not allocate any CPUs, but specifies the
limits of other allocation tasks.
Both min and max are optional. The default
min is platform-dependent but is currently = 1.
The default max is 32767 if creating a vPar in an
alternate database. If creating a vPar in the
monitor database, the default max is the total
number of CPUs on the entire hardware system.
Value If specified, min and max must be positive
integers such that min <= max.
Usage This option is allowed only in the vparcreate
Restrictions command.
min cannot exceed the total number of CPUs. The
default total when the vPar is created is 1. Use
the -a cpu::num option to change the total before
setting a min other than 1.
max cannot be less than the total.
min cannot be less than the total number
of CPUs configured by explicit path.
