Figure 5-11 Choosing shared processors for a partition profile
There are several pieces of information required for a shared processor partition. The first
three of these are:
򐂰 Desired processing units: This is the requested amount of processing units for the
partition. On profile activation, the partition will receive a number of processing units
between the minimum and desired amounts depending on what is available.
򐂰 Minimum processing units: This number of processing unit is required for the partition. The
profile will fail to activate if the minimum number of processing units is not met.
򐂰 Maximum processing units: The maximum represents the upper limit for processing units.
Processing unit allocations cannot go above the maximum. In order to go above the
maximum, the maximum value needs to be changed.
