RE: Sharing processor in LPARs

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,
Thanks for clarifying this.  However, our business partner just informed me 
that we can't do uncapped processing on our 9406-520 which is limited to .43 of 
a processor in total.

Dynamic LPAR does mean moving dedicated or shared resource manually
without restarting.

Uncapped processor is what you're thinking of for "automatic" stuff.
Infocenter it, should be what you're looking for.  Make sure to set your
min/max effectively - again, Infocenter will have what you need.

We recently added a second partition at V5R3 and I was under the
impression that "dynamically" moving partition processor power meant
that the operating system would be smart enough to do it on its own when
it sensed that one partition was under utilizing its CPU share and
another partition was CPU constrained.  Upon reading up on this though,
it looks as if dynamic means without restarting partitions.  Can someone
confirm this?

Thanks,
