Re: IBM i Usage limit? what does this message mean?

Hi

It means that you are only licensed for one processor but the partition is
able to use two.

If you check the 5770SS1 feature 5051 license key this most likely has a
limit of 1 processor. There's a good chance that the LPAR is running
uncapped and the system has two processors installed, or the LAP is
assigned to a shared processor pool with two processors allocated.

In either scenario, the processor is able to use up to two processors which
is outside the entitlement.

Hope this helps.
