Re: Current processing capacity

Not to worry your have 1000CPW but that is .43% of a 2400CPW CPW.   IBM 
used the same CPU on the 2400CPW and below systems ( and now the 2800CPW 
systems ) and then only allows in your case 43 out of 100 clock cycles to 
do useful work.

Current processing capacity







I've got a 520-7392 machine that shows a Current processing capacity of 
.43 in wrksysact.  I'm assured that there is no lpar on this box.  I 
think the machine is listed with 1000cpw.

1. Why is it showing a .43 capacity?  I thought this was showing what 
percentage of cpu that is available for the partition.

2. Is there any way I can verify no other lpar existence?  I don't have 
physical access to machine.

3. Do I effectively have 430cpw max on this machine?

I was given the possible answer of the cpu is the same as installed in 
higher powered machines.  A governor of sorts is used to throttle down 
this machine to 1000cpw.  I can buy that except I thought I've seen a 
capacity of 1 on other like 520 machines.
