A while back two servers were migrated to an LPAR'd 570. I am not
seeing the performance gains that I expected so I started looking at how
the LPAR's are configured. The LPAR's are setup to be uncapped with the
same number of processors and virtual processors. For example, one of
the LPAR's has 6 processors. If I understand it correctly, I could have
up to 60 virtual processors? In practice, what should the number of
virtual processors be set for that partition? What factors do I need to
consider, when trying to decide?

Thanks.
