150 Logical Partitions on System i5
For any dedicated processor partition profile, three values are required (Figure 5-9).
򐂰 Desired processors: This is the requested amount of processors for the partition. On
profile activation, the partition will receive a number of processors between the minimum
and desired amounts depending on what is available.
򐂰 Minimum processors: This number of processors is required for the partition. The profile
will fail to activate if the minimum number of processors is not met.
򐂰 Maximum processors: The maximum represents the upper limit for processors. Processor
allocations cannot go above the maximum. In order to go above the maximum, the
maximum value needs to be changed.
