Re: I get CPF9E7F on 9117-MMC P7 -- MIDRANGE-L

Yes exactly. The limit of the shared pool is the actual number of prc which the LPAR's can scale up to.

Yes my issue is that my pool has a limit of 4 prc for all 4 LPAR'S but when WRKLICINF for feat. 5051, the usage across all LPAR's shows 16 not the limit of 4 which,should be normal.

licensed limit.
Good to know.
But this is the exact scenario you are describing, yet the os thinks that
up to 16 cpus are working at the same time, right?

I think that it depends on waht the configuration of the shared prc. pool
is. If you put the 4 LPAR's in a pool with MAX 16 prc, and when each of the
4 LPAR scales beyond 1 CPU then I think that with WRKLICINF you will see 16
prc. usage across all 4 LPAR's in that pool.

On the same topic, i was wondering if 4 IBM i partitions with 1 cpu
assigned each but 4 virtual cpus and uncapped weights would count as 4
procs or 16...

Hi all,

I have very strange issue here and I blame the OS API but just in case
maybe someone has encountered the same issue.

So i have 7 V6R1 LPAR's on 9117-MMC P7 which are in a separate shared
processor pool with max 4 prc. limit to this pool and 4 prc OS

licenses.

WRKLICINF for 5761SS!/V6/5051 shows that the usage limit is 4 but the

usage

count accross all LPAR's is 16 which is not possible for sure because

of

the limitation of the shared pool.

I get CPF9E7F every hour and I'm getting anoyed since my customer

thinks

that this is a BIG issue, which is not :

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF9E7F Severity . . . . . . . : 40
Message type . . . . . : Information
Date sent . . . . . . : Time sent . . . . . . :

Message . . . . : i5/OS usage limit exceeded - operator action

required.

Cause . . . . . : The processor usage limit of 4 processors for

product

5761SS1, license term V6, feature 5051 has been exceeded.
-- Current processor usage across all active i5/OS partitions is

4,00.

-- Current processor usage for the local partition is 1,00.

I checked 100 times that the LPAR is in the correct pool but even then

it

shows the wrong usage across all the LPAR's.

My system is with firmware AM740_100.

I assume that API QSYS/QLZARCAPI is bugged but I can't be sure.

Any clues, PTF or some trick?

Best Regards,
