Re: Unrestrict processor

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1000 CPW power 5s are really 2400 CPW machines, as they report in as 
only .4 of a processor.  If you take 40% of 2400 you get approximately  
1000.  You can unlock this by calling IBM and purchasing a 2400 CPW 
processor ;)  Its also why you can't run 10 partitions on a 1000 CPW 
machine, as each partition requires 10% of a CPU and you only have 40% 
of a CPU in total, hence the limit of 4 partitions.
