System information

Chapter 3. HMC overview and planning 65
򐂰 The following three attributes reflect physical hardware boot conditions, not the partition:
– Power-on type — permanent or temporary; these are similar to the i5/OS IPL A and B
values.
– Power-on speed — fast or slow; this indicates how much hardware/microcode
checking is done during IPL.
– Power-on speed overrides — fast or slow; indicates how many hardware diagnostics
are carried out during the power-on phase.
System Properties - Processors
Figure 3-23 shows a very useful informational panel. This is where you can see how all of the
system processors are allocated. You can also see how the processors are configured,
dedicated, or shared.
Figure 3-23 Managed system - Processor properties
The processor properties page shows the total number of available processors on the system
which are the unassigned processors that are available. The configureable processors are
those that are already configured in partitions and include all the possible processors on the
system, including any Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CoD) processors not currently
implemented. The total available processor units is the number of processors on the
managed system, excluding any CUoD processors not implemented, times the minimum
processor units per processor.
The Processor usage pane shows how the processors are currently divided up across the
partitions. As we have no partitions created on the example server, there are no values in this
area.
