Figure 1-11 Shared processor processing units setting for logical partition
In the foregoing example, we give the minimum processing units of 0.3, desired processing
units of 1.6, and maximum processing units of 4. Click the Advanced... button to display
shared processor mode and virtual processor setting window as shown in Figure 1-12.
Figure 1-12 Virtual processor setting window
From Figure 1-12, you can see the number of minimum, desired, and maximum virtual
processors calculated by HMC per the rules as explained previously. HMC calculates 1
minimum virtual processor, 2 desired virtual processors, and 40 maximum virtual processors.
You may change these virtual processors settings to satisfy your workload requirements.
